Hočąk Text — The Lame Friend

Hočąk Text — The Lame Friend

narrated by John Hazen Hill (Xetenišaraga)

Despite the fact that the Hočąk text is typewritten, owing to the heavy ink on the ribbon and the state of the type, it is often hard to distinguish the letter /o/ from the letter /e/, and sometimes the letter /a/ is difficult to identify. The English translation, while technically interlinear, is not aligned word-for-word, and tends to be a bit loose. The English is written with a sharp pencil and has the virtue, at least, of being easy to read.
