In the early nineteenth century, Protestant missionaries promoted
the translation of evangelical hymns into the Ojibwe language,
regarding this music not only as a shared form of worship but also
as a tool for rooting out native cultural identity. But for many
Minnesota Ojibwe today, the hymns emerged from this history of
material and cultural dispossession to become emblematic of their
identity as a distinct native people.
Author Michael McNally uses hymn singing as a lens to view culture
in motion--to consider the broader cultural processes through which
Native American peoples have creatively drawn on the resources of
ritual to make room for survival, integrity, and a cultural
identity within the confines of colonialism.
