or Chippewa (or Ojibway) Version Of The Scriptures
This dialect is spoken by the Chippewa or Saulteaux Indians, dispersed through a considerable portion of British North America, and also found in the United States. In this dialectan edition of the entire New Test. was published in 1844 at New York, under the auspices of the American Bible Society. A new and revised edition was published in 1856, under the superintendence of the Reverend Sherman Hall. A translation of the Psalms, prepared by the Reverend Dr. O'Meara, was printed in 1854 at Toronto, at the expense of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge; while the minor prophets, in the translation of the Reverend R. McDonald, were published by the British and Foreign Bible Society in 1874. The entire New Test., in the syllabic character, was published in 1880. (B.P.)
