Summary: "Metlakahtla and the North Pacific Mission of the Church Missionary Society" by Stock is a historical account likely written in the mid-19th century. This work delves into the efforts of the Church Missionary Society to evangelize the Tsimshean Indians of British Columbia, highlighting the life and challenges faced by missionary William Duncan as he navigates the spiritual and cultural landscape of the indigenous population. The opening of the account sets the stage by describing the geographical and social context of British Columbia, outlining its diverse Indian tribes and their customs. It depicts the reverence and influence of ancient practices, emphasizing the conflicting nature of Duncan's mission work—his commitment to religious education and reform amidst the entrenched beliefs of the tribes. The early chapters introduce Duncan’s arrival and his initial interactions with the Tsimshean people, showcasing their socio-cultural dynamics, their lives steeped in superstition, and the challenges he faces in gaining their trust and establishing a Christian community. The convergence of colonial interests and indigenous traditions creates a rich backdrop for the unfolding narrative of hope, resilience, and the transformative power of faith.
