Summary: This study focuses on the encounter between the Native American Eastern Algonkian peoples and French missionaries in the 17th century. Morrison (religion, Arizona State U.) argues that rather than simply converting to Catholicism, the Algonkians applied traditional knowledge and values to achieve a pragmatic and critical sense of Christianity and to preserve and extend kinship solidarity into the future.
