Among the Anglo-Canadian fur traders of the early 19th century, George Nelson stands out for his interest in the lives and ways of the native peoples he encountered. This letter-journal provides a detailed portrayal of the Algonquian religion.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"This work should be greeted enthusiastically by anyone interested in native American religion and mythology. While Nelson's journal alone is a valuable eyewitness account that provides insights into religious and mystic aspects of Cree and Northern Ojibwa life it is its combination with the other three parts of the book that greatly enhances understanding of native American culture. Desirably, future treatments of native people will be shaped in part by this work." -- North Dakota History
