Dakota Version of the Scriptures
Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature
Till the year 1839 no edition of any portion of the Scripture was printed for the Dakota or Sioux Indians. But in 1879 the entire Bible, the work of the Reverends Th. S. Williamson and S.R. Riggs, was given to the Dakota people. Forty years these two missionaries spent in their work, each laboring separately, but having the translation carefully read and freely criticised by the other.
