Zeisberger's Indian Dictionary

Zeisberger's Indian Dictionary is a comprehensive resource on the Delaware (Lenape) language, also offering insights into the languages and cultures of other indigenous tribes in the northeastern U.S. More than just a dictionary, it blends linguistic, cultural, and missionary elements from Zeisberger’s work with Native peoples. The dictionary served as a tool for Christianizing Native Americans while also documenting and preserving their languages, customs, and traditions, reflecting Zeisberger's dual mission of religious outreach and cultural preservation.
