“The writing style is accessible to a broad audience, and it fills a gap in the linguistics literature on Solega language. More importantly, the book contains significant considerations for documentary linguistics as our field increasingly embraces the documentation of TEK as part of our regular practice.” (Andrea L. Berez-Kroeker and Lucia Miller, Language Documentation & Conservation, Vol. 12, 2018)
