For the next eight years, Elizabeth supported her husband?s work at two mission houses, Norway House and then Berens River. Unprepared for the difficult conditions and the ?eight months long? winter, and unimpressed with ?eating fish twenty-one times a week,? the young Upper Canada wife rose to the challenge. In these remote outposts, she gave birth to three children, acted as a nurse and doctor, and applied both perseverance and determination to learning Cree, while also coping with poverty and short supplies within her community. Her account of mission life, as seen through the eyes of a woman, is the first of its kind to be archived and now to appear in print. Accompanying Elizabeth?s memoir, and offering a counterpoint to it, are the reminiscences of her eldest son, ?Eddie.? Born at Norway House in 1869 and nursed by a Cree woman from infancy, Eddie was immersed in local Cree and Ojibwe life, culture, and language, in many ways exemplifying the process of reverse acculturation often in evidence among the children of missionaries. Like those of his mother, Eddie?s memories capture the sensory and emotional texture of mission life, providing a portrait that is startling in its immediacy. Skillfully woven together and meticulously annotated by Jennifer Brown, these two remarkable recollections of mission life are an invaluable addition to the fields of religious, missionary, and indigenous history. In their power to resurrect experience, they are also a fascination to read. 410 0$aOur lives--diary, memoir, and letters. 606 $aMissionaries$zManitoba$vBiography 606 $aMethodists$zManitoba$vBiography 606 $aMethodist Church$xMissions$zManitoba 606 $aMothers and sons$zManitoba$vBiography 606 $aCree Indians$xMissions$zManitoba 606 $aOjibwa Indians$xMissions$zManitoba 610 $aRossville Mission 610 $aMethodist missionary 610 $aOjibwe 610 $aNorway House 610 $aEgerton Ryerson Young 610 $amaterial culture 610 $aCree 615 0$aMissionaries 615 0$aMethodists 615 0$aMethodist Church$xMissions 615 0$aMothers and sons 615 0$aCree Indians$xMissions 615 0$aOjibwa Indians$xMissions 676 $a266/.7092 700 $aYoung$b Elizabeth Bingham$0923526 702 $aBrown$b Jennifer S.
