This volume presents a unique and historically significant translation of Christian hymns into the Kwagsutl language. Originally sung in the Church Missionary Society (C.M.S.) missions on the northern part of Vancouver Island, these hymns offer a rare glimpse into the interaction between Christian missionaries and the Indigenous peoples of the region. The translations provide invaluable insights into the linguistic and cultural adaptations made during this period. This collection preserves an important part of the Kwagsutl linguistic heritage and the history of religious exchange in British Columbia.
