I know there is an old grammar, I believe its one of the BAE (Bureau of American Ethnography) volumes. I skimmed it 25 years ago and vaguely, perhaps incorrectly, remember it as being of the Latinate model. You might try www.bibliofind.com but I would really suggest looking at it first if at all possible.
