Arguing that Native Americans' religious life and history have been
misinterpreted, author Kenneth M. Morrison reconstructs the Eastern
Algonkians' world views and demonstrates the indigenous modes of
rationality that shaped not only their encounter with the French
but also their self-directed process of religious change. In
reassessing controversial anthropological, historical, and
ethnohistorical scholarship, Morrison develops interpretive
strategies that are more responsive to the religious world views of
the Eastern Algonkian peoples. He concludes that the Eastern
Algonkians did not convert to Catholicism, but rather applied
traditional knowledge and values to achieve a pragmatic and
critical sense of Christianity and to preserve and extend kinship
solidarity into the future. The result was a remarkable
intersection of Eastern Algonkian and missionary cosmologies.
