Sommario/riassunto

The Holy Spirit and the Eagle Feather traces the history of Indigenous Pentecostalism in Canada. It tells the story of how Indigenous Pentecostals overcame the entrenched colonialism of the mission-led



church to become religious leaders in their own communities, as well as agents for decolonization and reconciliation.
