Transcriber's Note Part 1

Although this book was published without a record of the translators,
the task has been attributed to Michael White Hawk and the Reverend
John Roberts. As the Inventory of the John Roberts Papers at the
American Heritage Center, University of Wyoming attests (see the Rocky
Mountain Online Archive at http://rmoa.unm.edu/), Rev. Roberts worked
among the Arapaho and Shoshone peoples on the Wind River Indian
Reservation in Wyoming from 1883, remaining there beyond his retirement
until his death in 1949. He was recorded as the sole translator of this
work in the Library of Congress Record, from its "old catalog" (see
http://lccn.loc.gov/ca 17002757). However, Michael White Hawk is known
to be the Arapaho first-language speaker on which this translation
depended (personal communication from Dr Andrew Cowell, Director at the
Center for the Study of Indigenous Languages of the West, Colorado
University.

The orthography includes only one character beyond the unadorned
Roman alphabet, the macronized a, which is an a with a straight line
above it. It is represented by "=a" in this text.

Since this transcription was done without the supervision or advice
of Arapaho speakers, the text is presented as originally published,
followed by a list of possible errors in Part 2 of this note.
