PREFACE.

IN the Indian Schools of our country, teachers and mis¬

sionaries have labored at a disadvantage with the

primers compiled for White Schools. Those text-books are

adapted for pupils who talk English before they enter

school. Indian children must begin conversational and

written English at the same time. In view of this fact, the

exercises in the Primer and Language Lessons have been

prepared. They embrace subjects, sentences, phrases, idioms,

and words designed to introduce the children by an easy and

natural method to the study of English. It will be observed

that the forty lessons include all the parts of speech. Teachers

will have the opportunity of studying the Cree Syllabics, and

explaining to their scholars the meaning of the English text.

Missionaries and teachers will possess a Cree text of model

sentences and idioms for private study, and will be better

qualified to read the Bible, the Hymn Book, the Catechism

in Cree, and to teach adult Indians to read and write their

own language.

Should a teacher, with the sanction of the Indian Depart¬

ment, instruct children in the use of Syllabics, fifteen minutes

each day wdll be found sufficient; but the main effort should

be to drill pupils in the English tongue.

6 APPENDAGES.

APPENDAGES.

^ = n, as in p^, it is cold.

c = m, M Ar'S sun-

° = s, ii olW0, boy.

i = p, ii rV1, duck.

N = k, ii cra.bCP, he leaves me.

' = t, ii rA/? tooth.

“ == ch, it ^^A”, very.

. = w, when placed immediately to the right of a syllable,

as in o-<]-, my wife-

• = i, when placed higher to the right, as in cr°c!Cb* my

coat.

: = wl, combining the value of each point as given above,

as in Pbb ka-kwl.

" = the rough breathing, or aspirate, as in A"d, ashes.

x — a combination of 11 and N, that is, of the aspirate and k,

as in PAX, se-pehk, at the river.

£ = r, as in b£,rv, Christ.

i = 1, " V^PS, angel,

o = oo, ii o_\/05 man.

Page 13: Primer and language lessons in English and Cree

APPENDAGES. 7

When ” and “o” are placed to the right of a syllable,

as in AP^P*0, the value of “ * ” is absorbed by the syllable,

while that of “o” is affixed. Written in Roman characters

the word AP°S*° will illustrate:—pe-kis-kwaoo ; “ w ” is

within the syllable, and “oo” is affixed to it. The value of

“ which appendage must be placed after the syllable it

affects, is always absorbed except in the case of V*, A*

[>•, <]•, in which, though “ * ” is affixed in position, its value

is prefixed. The above combinations are pronounced, wa,

we, wo, wa. The absorbed and the prefixed values of a . „

are met with in the word A*AP°P*o = we-ke-kis kwaoo, he

wishes to speak.

It will be noticed that there are quantities between V

and <1 V and <, etc., less full than those given in the

Alphabet. When quantities similar to the alphabetical ones

are very necessary in the pronunciation of a word, the period

“ * ” is placed directly over the long or broad syllable,

crbP-CL^ = ni-ka-kwe-ta-man = I shall be in need. VdC • •

crbOb^ = I shall be there; here the last syllables are, “a”

and “ yan,;5 both broad. bOV^ = where you are. The

last “ ^7 ” is not broad, ka-a-ya-yun.

MODEL LETTER.

Morley, Alberta,

February 21st, 1890.

Dear Father and Mother,

1. It is two years since I came here. At first

I was lonesome, but now, though I often think of

you, I am glad I was sent here to learn English and

to work.

2. On Saturday there is no school, but we work

and play a good deal. I like to feed cattle and ride

a horse to water. One day the horse ran away with

me, and threw me against the fence. My flesh and

bones were sore for two or three days. The teacher

did not scold me. However, he thought I was care¬

less ; and said he was thankful the horse did not

kill me.

3. Some of the boys steal things to eat wThen there

is a chance. We are fed plenty at meals, and I feel

better when I try to do right.

4. Sometimes I disobey. Our teacher tells us not

to tease animals. Once I snared a gopher, and dragged

it about with a string until it was almost dead. One

of the girls told the teacher I disobeyed him, so he

whipped me wTell. I told him I did not like to be

thrashed; he said the gopher did not like to be

abused, and he told me I was cruel. I should have

killed the gopher at once, as I was told, but I like

that kind of play better than the gophers do. They

eat oats and carrots, and other things we raise for

food. I hope that my younger brother and sister

will be brought here to school, and that they will

quit teasing gophers, and give up other bad habits

before leaving home.

5. I do not wish to live in a tent any more, or wear

a blanket. When I am grown up, I will try to get

about twenty cows and two horses to keep on a farm-

Every white man makes his own living, because he is

taught from childhood to work. I shall never ask

for a blanket or rations. Why does the Government

not give you coats and pants instead of blankets that

make people look foolish and lazy?

6. The snow is not deep at Morley, and does not

remain long, because sometimes the wind is too warm

for snow. This winter a wounded bear killed a

Stony in the Rocky Mountains not far from here.

We were all sorry for his wife and children. Another

man accidentally shot himself, and died very soon after¬

wards.

7. The girls in this school can do many things

they could do at their homes. They knit, and sew,

and make bread, and do other work, and tell on a

boy when he does wrong. They are not very good

themselves.

8. There are two schools on the north side of the

river, and one on the south side. Mr. McDougall

brings boys and girls to this school. Some of them

come from afar. Mr. and Mrs. Youmans make us talk

English at play and at work, so we learn fast. On

Sunday the children are taken out to church; they

like it if it is not too cold. I wish you could hear

us sing, and read and talk English.

9. The Stonies hunt in the Rocky Mountains, farm

on both sides of the river, and live in houses. I was

surprised at first that these Indians do not gamble, or

dance, or bet. Now I see they are taught that these

things do them harm and make them poor. The

Stonies have faith in the Bible, and listen to the

advice of the missionary. Would that all the Orees

and other Indians gave up their evil ways and read

the Bible !

10. I love you all more than ever, and I am

anxious to see you and tell you many things that I

cannot put in this letter. Dear mother, I have some¬

thing I am keeping for you until you and father

come to see me in the spring.

Your loving son,

Chief Sampson, THOMAS.

Bear’s Hill, Alta.
