History of the Ojebway Indians

by Peter Jones

More history and ethnography than memoir, this posthumous work by Peter Jones (Kahkewaquonaby, 1802-1856) records the customs, beliefs, and history of the Ojibwe, with especial attention to their conversion to Christianity. A brief memoir of the author is appended.

The changed life

Jones, the first ordained Indigenous Methodist missionary in Canada, wrote as a converted Ojibwe surveying his own nation's turning to Christ — the faith that had remade his life poured into a record meant to commend it to others.
