This dictionary provides a record of the Kanien'k�ha (Mohawk) language as spoken by fluent first- and second-language speakers at the Kanien'k�ha Mohawk Territory outside of Montr�al, Canada. The Kanien'k�ha language has been written since the 1600s, and these dictionary entries include citations from published, archival, and informal writings from the seventeenth century onwards. These citations are a legacy of the substantial documents of missionary scholars and several informal vocabulary lists written by Kanien'k�ha speakers, among others. The introduction to the dictionary provides a description of the organization and orthography of the historical works so that they can be used in the future by those studying and learning the language. A Dictionary of Kanien'k�ha (Mohawk) with Connections to the Past allows scholars and students to learn the meaning, composition, and etymology of words in a language known for its particularly complex word structure.
