"Graczyk's grammar comes at an ideal time for those of us working with promoting or teaching the Crow language on the reservation. We are just now seeing the beginnings of an effort to revitalize the language and promote its early use at the family, daycare, and Head Start levels."—Rose Chesarek, Great Plains Research "An extraordinarily thorough description, amply illustrated with examples of all sorts.
