"This is the most important pre-reservation document that we have for the Comanche languageĀ .Ā .Ā . It should be in every university research library." āJames A. Goss, Professor of Anthropology, Texas Tech University
Ā
The
Comanche Vocabulary collected in Mexico during the years 1861ā1864 by Manuel GarcĆa RejĆ³n is by far the most extensive Comanche word list compiled before the establishment of the Kiowa-Comanche-Apache Reservation in 1867. It preserves words and concepts that have since changed or even disappeared from the language, thus offering a unique historical window on earlier Comanche culture.
Ā
This translation adds the English equivalents to the original Spanish-Comanche list of 857 words, as well as a Comanche-English vocabulary and comparisons with later Comanche word lists. Daniel J. Gelo's introduction discusses the circumstances in which GarcĆa RejĆ³n gathered his material and annotates significant aspects of the vocabulary in light of current knowledge of Comanche language and culture. The book also includes information on pictography, preserving a rare sample of Comanche scapula drawing.
Ā
This information will help scholars understand the processes of language evolution and cultural change that occurred among all Native American peoples following European contact. The
Comanche Vocabulary will also hold great interest for the large public fascinated by this once-dominant tribe.
