Canadian Missionaries, Indigenous Peoples: Representing Religion at Home and Abroad - Austin, Alvyn J.; Scott, Jamie S

Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; This book examines the encounters between Christian missionaries and the indigenous peoples with whom they worked in 19th- and 20th-century domestic and overseas missions. Three sections: The first contains essays on missionaries and converts in western Canada and in the Arctic. The second section investigates the Canadian missionary presence and its legacy in east Asia, India, and Africa. The third examines the motives and methods of missionaries as important contributors to Canadian museum holdings of artifacts from Huronia, Kahnawaga, and Alaska, as well as China and the South Pacific.
