Christian

Christian

Title page of a 1930 edition of the Anglican Book of Common Prayer translated into Anishinaabemowin.

The word Christian is broad and divisive, much like the word “Indian.” As a broad category, the term Christian often obscures the differences found among great variety of people who consider themselves followers of Jesus Christ. In the hands of missionaries and colonial officials, Christian was often used as a category to divide the saved from the heathen, which often meant distinguishing between virtuous (white) Canadians and “Indians.”
