Many fellow linguists and Arapaho speakers have contributed to my work documenting and revitalizing the Arapaho language.
I would like to thank Belle Matheson, a fellow student at Berkeley who first introduced me to the Arapaho language and people in 2003. Some of the recordings on the audio dictionary were made with her. J. Andrew Cowell, scholar of Arapaho literature and language, has provided invaluable help and guidance at every step.
Thanks to members of the Berkeley Yurok Project (especially Andrew Garrett), who have provided technical and general guidance.
Most importantly, thank you to all the speakers who have worked with me. They have graciously and patiently begun to teach me their language, and I hope these efforts will be useful to them and to their children and grandchildren.
In developing an Arapaho-English and English-Arapaho dictionary, I intend to make use of as many sources as possible, including manuscripts, previously published dictionaries and contemporary speakers. A dictionary entry references a source if the head word is found only on once source. Those words found in multiple sources do not have references.
