| Summary |
"Missionary Work Among the Ojebway Indians" by Edward Francis Wilson is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book recounts the experiences and challenges faced by Wilson as he embarks on a missionary journey to Canada to work among the Ojebway Indians, detailing the cultural exchanges and the deepening relationships formed with the indigenous people he seeks to assist. The opening of the book introduces the reader to Wilson's motivations for becoming a missionary, which stem from his childhood aspirations and a sudden calling after arriving in Canada. It describes his initial experiences and encounters with the Ojebway community, including the challenges presented by differing religious practices, cultural expectations, and the need for education and support among the tribe. Wilson shares detailed accounts of his first visits to various Indian reserves, establishing a missionary presence amidst complex social dynamics and the effort to set up schools and churches in support of their education and spiritual growth.
