Indian language vocabularies of William Henry Corbusier
Manuscripts
The majority of items in this group are vocabulary lists for the languages of several Arizona and California Indian groups including the Cahuilla, Cupeno, Diegueno, Hualapai, Yavapai, and the Yuma. Some of the vocabulary lists have introductions regarding the history of the Indian group and the rules of the language. There are also typescripts of two articles written by Amiel Whipple and Alfred L. Kroeber, regarding California Indians, that Corbusier annotated with his notes. There is also an essay regarding Corbusier's time in the military and General George Crook and the 5th U.S. Cavalry's dealings with the Tonto Apache leader Delshay. Also included are two Indian folk tales, How Wolf's Son Became a Star (Hualapai), and How Whets-A-Whets Went Up to the Fourth Heaven (Yuma); the stories are written in the Indian language and English. There is also a copy of a letter by Corbusier to Jesse Walter Fewkes
