Rating:  Summary: Indians Review: I have'nt read this book yet but plan on it asap,the reason why i rated it 5 stars is because I am half indian and everything I read on indians I like so I rated it 5 stars.
Rating:  Summary: very basic Review: there is very little material in this book, practically no grammar, so you won't make your own sentences, no explanations of pecularities of Cheyenne verb, there is a file containing this book somewhere on the Internet, but no sounds to it
Rating:  Summary: Some Actual Information About The Tapes (for a change...) Review: Wayne Leman is a notable linguist and one of the most respected scholars of the Cheyenne language. Ted Risingsun was a Northern Cheyenne elder, great-grandson of Chief Dull Knife, and native speaker of the language. It is his voice you hear on these tapes. If you are interested in the Cheyenne language this is a must-have. If the book seems unavailable on this page, simply search for "Ted Risingsun"; there is a second version of the course on Amazon which is available.You will not come away from this audio course speaking Cheyenne like a native, obviously, but no audio course anywhere will do that for you all by itself (perhaps that is why the disappointed linguist-guy has gone about Amazon.com giving one-star ratings to every Native American and African cassette course he could find.) If you are interested in beginning an understanding of this lovely and complex language, however, this is a good place to start.
