A Kwagsutl Traslation of Hymns as Sung in the C.M.S. Missions on the North of Vancouver Island

<p>This volume presents a unique and historically significant translation of Christian hymns into the Kwagsutl language. Originally sung in the Church Missionary Society (C.M.S.) missions on the northern part of Vancouver Island these hymns offer a rare glimpse into the interaction between Christian missionaries and the Indigenous peoples of the region.
