Project Gutenberg 2007-10-31 Public domain in the USA. 228 Young, Egerton Ryerson 1840 1909 Oowikapun, or, How the Gospel reached the Nelson River Indians Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England "Oowikapun, or, How the Gospel Reached the Nelson River Indians" by Reverend Egerton Ryerson Young is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The narrative centers around Oowikapun, an Indigenous hunter, who experiences a profound transformation in his life following his encounter with a Christian Indian and the teachings of a missionary. The book explores themes of spirituality, cultural contrasts, and the impacts of missionary work among Indigenous peoples. The beginning of the book introduces us to Oowikapun, who is deeply troubled after receiving a wound from a fierce wolf while on a hunting trip. He encounters Memotas, a kind-hearted Christian Indian who nurses him back to health and introduces him to different perspectives on life, particularly concerning the treatment of women and spirituality. Oowikapun is astonished by Memotas’s respectful treatment of his wife and their family's harmonious dynamics, which starkly contrast with his traditional beliefs. This opening sets the stage for Oowikapun's internal struggles and the journey toward understanding faith and the Gospel in the context of his Indigenous culture.
