Over one hundred years ago, Erminnie A. Smith began work on a Tuscarora-English dictionary. In the late 1870s Smith was engaged by the U.S. Bureau of Ethnology (later renamed the Bureau of American Ethnology [BAE]) to carry out research on the cultures, languages, and native literatures of the Six Nations of the Iroquois, one product of which was a Tuscarora version of the Indian Language Schedule developed by the BAE's director, Major Powell (BAE ms. 375). She was aided in her work to complete the schedule by a young Tuscarora man named John Napoleon Brinton (J. N. B.) blcwitt. The material obtained to complete the schedule was organized into file slips as a prelude to a dictionary of the language. Upon the death of Smith in 1883 Hewitt was hired to complete the dictionary.
