In the early nineteenth century; Protestant missionaries 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.
