On Saturday July 16th, Jeremiah Johnston told Du Vernet a story about the placement of the Long Sault church. He said that he managed to build the church on high land that had been the site of the Old Chief\u2019s house, by convincing the current Chief Black Bird that to build on his father\u2019s land was a monument to the great man: \u201cFor years to come people passing up + down the river would say that Church marks the site of where the old Chief of this Reserve used to live.\u201d Johnston\u2019s \u201cingenuity\u201d worked, according to Du Vernet, and the Church was built.<\/p>\n

The \u201cOld Chief\u201d was likely the famous Madenopewais. The fact that the Anglican Church was built upon ground where the old Chief had lived was socially and symbolically significant. The erection of the new Church over the old Chief\u2019s land illustrates how missionaries hoped to appropriate culturally meaningful sites from the Ojibwe and restructure them according to Christian cosmologies of the land.<\/p>\n

Although the church is now gone and there are no photographs available, Du Vernet gives a great deal of detail of the appearance of the church. It was \u201cA very neat wooden building clap boarded on the outside, the walls and the ceiling being boarded inside.\u201d Jeremiah Johnston had made the chancel rail and reading desk with his own hand, but the church was still quite bare, and quite desperately needed a bell \u201cto bring many more to the services,\u201d in Du Vernet\u2019s opinion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
