""Ethnography And Philology Of The Hidatsa Indians"" by Washington Matthews is a comprehensive study of the Hidatsa tribe, a Native American group that lived in what is now North Dakota. The book is divided into two parts: the first part is an ethnography, which describes the Hidatsa way of life, their customs, beliefs, and traditions. Matthews provides detailed accounts of their social organization, religious practices, and economic activities, including hunting, fishing, and agriculture. The second part of the book is a philological study of the Hidatsa language. Matthews analyzes the grammar, syntax, and vocabulary of the language, and provides numerous examples of Hidatsa words and phrases. The book also includes a glossary of Hidatsa words and an extensive bibliography. Overall, ""Ethnography And Philology Of The Hidatsa Indians"" is an important contribution to the study of Native American culture and language, and remains a valuable resource for scholars and researchers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
