Description

Seven years in the making, the monumental 696-page Barona Inter-Tribal Dictionary is now on display at the Barona Cultural Center & Museum. The new exhibition, 'Iipay Aa Tiipay Aa Uumall' More Than Words: Saving Our Endangered Language, is part of the museum's calendar of activities in support of Native American Heritage Month in November.

The new dictionary, comprising thousands of more familiar as well as long-lost words and phrases, is aimed at assisting Yuman language speakers of the San Diego County Tribes in revitalizing their traditional native tongue.
