She highlights the struggle between the Jesuits and Natives over the meaning of Christianity. The Jesuits' attempted to convey their Christian message through Native languages and cultural idioms. Blackburn shows that this resulted in the displacement of much of the content of the message and demonstrates that the Native people's acts of resistance took up and transformed aspects of the Jesuits' teachings in ways that subverted their authority. Harvest of Souls is essential for all those interested in new approaches to historical and contemporary relations between Europeans and Native peoples in North America.McGill-Queen's native and northern series ;22.Indians of North AmericaMissionsQuébec (Province)History17th centuryWyandot IndiansMissionsQuébec (Province)History17th centuryMontagnais IndiansMissionsHistory17th centuryIndians of North AmericaColonizationQuébec (Province)History17th centuryAcculturationQuébec (Province)History17th centuryJésuitesMissionsQuébec (Province)Histoire17e siècleIndiens d'amériqueMissionsQuebec (Province)Histoire16e siècleQuébec (Province)Ethnic relationsIndians of North AmericaMissionsHistoryWyandot IndiansMissionsHistoryMontagnais IndiansMissionsHistoryIndians of North AmericaColonizationHistoryAcculturationHistoryJésuitesMissionsHistoireIndiens d'amériqueMissionsHistoire266/.2714Blackburn Carole1963-1655117MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910827834803321Harvest of souls4007345UNINA
