If any of these characters do not display properly—in particular, if the diacritic does not appear directly above the letter—or if the apostrophes and quotation marks in this paragraph appear as garbage, make sure that your browser’s “character set” or “file encoding” is set to Unicode (UTF-8). You may also need to change the default font. Note that the stress marks, as in “Midē´wiwin,” are not meant to go on top of the adjoining letter.
Typographical errors are marked in the text with mouse-hover popups . Bracketed passages are in the original.
