LOVE this book! Very well organized, very helpful and I will always treasure it. Not even sure if it can be purchased now. When I lived on the reservation, it helped me understand some of the language, but I am not the best at learning languages. I can hear differences, but I'm not so good at speaking. Luckily there are videos on you tube now, but be careful because there are differences depending on where you are and the heritage of the person uploading the video. It DOES matter. Invaluable book!
