This series contains Dorsey's linguistic and ethnological research on the tribes of the Siouan-Catawba language family, spanning from his days as a missionary among the Ponca to his research as a BAE ethnologist. Materials consist of field notes, census, reading notes, drafts of manuscripts for publication, and papers for presentations. The series also contains dictionaries that he compiled on Omaha, Ponca, Quapaw, and Biloxi, as well as his work editing Steven Riggs' Dakota-English Dictionary. As part of his research, Dorsey also gathered and analyzed the linguistic data collected by his colleagues. These notes and a small amount of correspondence with his colleagues are also in this series.
Arrangement:
This series is organized into the following subseries: 1) General Siouan; 2) Dakota; 3) Dhegiha; 4) Chiwere-Winnebago; 5) Mandan & Hidatsa; 6) Tutelo & Biloxi; 7) Catawba.
