Cree Hymn Book (1888)

The Cree Hymn Book (1888) by John McDougall is a collection of Christian hymns translated into the Cree language. The book includes hymns for various occasions such as weddings, funerals, and church services. McDougall, a missionary in the Canadian West, worked closely with the Cree people and understood the importance of incorporating their language and culture into Christian worship. The hymns in this book reflect this understanding and are written in a way that is accessible to Cree speakers. The book also includes a brief introduction to the Cree language and a list of hymns with their corresponding page numbers. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christian missions among Indigenous peoples in Canada and the role of language in religious expression.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
