In the late 19th century, the Fraser River Indian Mission emerged as a pivotal site for spiritual engagement among Indigenous communities in British Columbia. The "Indian Methodist Hymn-book" by Thomas Crosby, Wm. H. Barraclough, and C. M. Tate serves as a vital collection of hymns tailored for this mission, featuring unique elements such as hymns in Chinook alongside foundational texts like the Lord's Prayer and the Ten Commandments. This document is essential for students, civic activists, and historians seeking to understand the intersection of faith and Indigenous culture during a transformative period. Rich in historical significance, this hymn-book invites readers to explore the profound impact of Methodist teachings on local communities while preserving their linguistic heritage.
