The Church Missionary Society and the Rossville Lmission Press The Church Missionary Society and the Rossville lMission Press Joyce M. Bankst There is a wonderful anachronism in the English Bible which provides a most fitting introduction to any consideration of the history of missionary printing, and particularly to the study of the missionary field press in Rupert's Land. It is taken from one of Job's laments: Oh that my words were now written! Oh that they were printed in a book! That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock forever! Job 19:23-24. An iron pen is a splendid metaphor for the printing press, and graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock forever clearly reflects the aims of the missionary printer, who strove to make an indelible impression. For the Wesleyans and the Anglicans, printing was at work on two levels in Rupert's Land: to achieve the transmission of the scriptures to the aboriginal peoples; and to entrench the syllabic system for a literate society. In 1853 and I854 an attempt was made by the Church Missionary Society to gain control of the Rossville Mission in the Hudson's Bay Company terrtories. Established by the Wesleyan Missionary Soci- ety in 1840, the Rossville Mission was the best situated of any mission in Rupert's Land. At the very hub of the Hudson's Bay Company transportation system, I it was located at the head of Lake Winnipeg, a few miles from Norway House, which was the mar- shalling point for the great Rupert's Land fur and freight brigades. The Mission was seven days downstream from York Factory, the t Joyce M. Banks is Curator of the Rare Book Collection at the National Library of Canada. Her doctoral dissertation, completed at the University of London, is entitled 'Books in Syllabic Characters Printed for the Use of the Church Mission- ary Society Among the Cree, Saulteaux, Slave and Tukhud Indians and the Eskimos of Little Whale River in the Diocese of Rupert's Land: 1852-I872.' An earlier draft of her paper was read at the Annual Meeting of the Bibliographical Society of Canada in Hamilton, Ontario, on I6 June 1993- 32 Papers of the Bibliographical Society of Canada 32/ I principal Hudson's Bay Company port. The missionary at Rossville received a stipend of £2oo per annum from the Hudson's Bay Company.z The Rossville Mission also had a printing press. Three missionary groups served in the Company's territories: the Wesleyan Missionary Society (Methodist), the Church Missionàary Society (Anglican), and the Oblats de Marie Immacul6e (Romian Catholic). Although policy and practice did not always correspond, the policy of the Hudson's Bay Company was to maintain a balance among the three and to treat all equally. The Wesleyan Missionary `Society missions were few in number, but this was offset by Ross- ville, with its fine location and its press. Despite the differences in their religious philosophies, all three groups recognized the value of books printed in syllabic characters and used them to proselytize, and all three established field presses. Any discussion of missionary printing in Rupert's Land is indebted to the scholarship of Bruce Peel. His seminal work on James Evans and the Rossville Mission Press as it evolved under the responsi- bility of the Wesleyan Missionary Society and of the Canada Con- ference of the Wesleyan Methodist Church has provided a splendid foundation for this paper, which is meant to relate the work of the Church Missionary Society to the Rossville Mission Press. The impact of the Rossville Mission Press on the Oblats de Marie Immacul6e has yet to be investigated. The Rossville Mission Press was the first press in the Hudson's Bay Company territories, and, for twelve years, the only one. It had been established by James Evans of the Wesleyan Missionary Soci- ety on his arrival in Rupert's Land in I840. Using a makeshift press and home-made types, he printed books for the aboriginal peoples using the syllabic characters, now commonly called'Cree syllabics.' Within a decade of its introduction, the syllabic system was wide- spread, and accepted by the aboriginal peoples to the extent that it could then be regarded as the native writing system. Although James Evans is famous as the printer of Rossville, in fact, he printed only seven books there. He began printing in September 1840, and, in I841, sent a request to England for a printing press and a fount of syllabic character types, which arrived in I845. No printing is recorded between mid-I84I and I845,3 but Peel assumes that some unrecorded items did appear during that period. By the time Evans received his press and types from England, he was unable to use them. He was in ill health, and depressed by his accidental killing of a young convert, Thomas Hassel. Moreover, in I846, he was being hounded about 'allegations of moral turpitude involving 33 Banks : Rossville Mission Press Indian women,' a charge of which he was acquitted in a church trial under the Wesleyan discipline which he ordered convened at Ross- ville. At that time, Sir George Simpson, Governor of the Hudson's Bay Company, wrote to the Wesleyan Missionary Society in London asking that Evans be removed. In 1846 Evans returned to England where he was examined by the Society's secretaries and again found innocent of the charge. He died in the autumn of 1846.4 William Mason was the printer at the Rossville Mission Press from 1845 to 1854. He carried out an ambitious printing program, and was of key importance to the Church Missionary Society as well as to the Wesleyan Missionary Society. While the Wesleyan press at Rossville was the first press in Rupert's Land, the Wesleyans were not the first missionaries to serve there. The Church of England, through the Church Mission- ary Society, had supported missions in the Hudson's Bay Company terrtories since the early 1820s, but no book was printed in any aboriginal language for Church Missionary Society use there before the 1850s. Church Missionary Society missionaries were certainly aware of the Rossville Mission Press. John Smithurst, who served at Indian Settlement, Red River, had two items printed at Rossville in 1848: the National Anthem in English and the English-Cree- Oiibway Word Book.s Obviously, there was a fount of roman type at Rossville. But it was not until the Anglican missionary Diocese of Rupert's Land was established in I849, that the attention of the Church Missionary Society was focused on translation and printing of the scriptures and devotional works for use among the aboriginal peoples. The 'primary object' established by the Society for David Anderson, the first Lord Bishop, was 'the translation of the scriptures into Indian language, the printing and dispersing of them.'6 The success of the 'primary object' depended entirely upon the ability of the peoples to read the books printed for them. For this reason, the Church Missionary Society missionaries chose, or were compelled, to print their books using syllabic characters which were widely used in Rupert's Land by I849. For many years there was a conflict between those who favoured the syllabic characters and those who favoured the roman alphabet. When the Diocese of Rupert's Land was established, Anderson's initial response to the syllabic characters was unfavourable. He believed then that the aboriginal people should be taught to read their own languages and dialects using the roman alphabet as a first step towards learning English.' In this he was opposed by Henry Venn, Honorary Secretary 34 Papers of the Bibliographical Society of Canada 32/I of the Church Missionary Society, who was not convinced that European civilization was a prerequisite for the establishment and growth of a Christian church. Venn maintained that each society should develop its Christian church within the framework of its own culture. The introduction of books in native languages, he argued, was the first step towards a self-sufficient church. Venn regarded the use of a standard orthography as one of the roots of a sound growth in missions among peoples who did not use the roman alphabet, and he identified the syllabic characters as the orthogra- phy to be used in Rupert's Land. This enlightened policy, coupled with Anderson's personal observations of the successful use of the syllabic system among the native peoples of the diocese, persuaded the bishop of its efficacy, and he eventually became a supporter of the syllabic characters. Of major importance in reinforcing Ander- son's opinion was the success of the Church Missionary Society field press established at Moose Factory in 1853. Under the direc- tion of John Horden, a capable printer and an excellent translator, the Moose Press issued twenty-three imprints in syllabic characters in some 7,3oo copies between 1853 and I859 for the use of the aboriginal peoples in the James Bay region. In the 1850s Rossville Mission Press books in Cree, printed in syllabic characters, were used by the Church Missionary Society, but only two books in syllabic characters were printed at Rossville specifically for Church Missionary Society use.8 A prayer book and a hymnal were printed at the request of James Hunter of Cumber- land Station on the Saskatchewan River. Although Hunter was an opponent of the syllabic system, he planned to give these little books to the old people in his region who could read and write syllabic characters.s 500 copies of the prayer book were printed in the spring of 185 3. The hymnal, translated by Hunter's wife, Jean Ross Hunter,Io was ordered when Hunter visited Rossville on his way to York Factory in August of that year.

  • Archdeacon Thomas Vincent of Moosonee and the Handicap of "Metis" Racial Status
    ARCHDEACON THOMAS VINCENT OF MOOSONEE AND THE HANDICAP OF "METIS" RACIAL STATUS JOHN S. LONG, P.O. Box 334, Moosonee, Ontario, Canada, P0L 1Y0. ABSTRACT/RESUME Through its policy of Native Agency, the Church Missionary Society sought to further the rapid spreading of Christianity throughout the entire non- Christian world. The Society's European agents were supposed to be mere catalysts, who would soon be replaced by Native agents. Mission centres were intended to become self-supporting so that Society funds could be transferred elsewhere. The case of Archdeacon Thomas Vincent of Moosonee illustrates one of the difficulties of implementing these policies in the James Bay region, where men of mixed race were considered unfit to succeed their European tutors. Au moyen de son principe de "Native Agency", la Church Missionary Society cherchait à favoriser la propagation rapide du message chrétien à travers le monde paien. Les agents européens de la Société devaient se limiter à un rôle de catalyseurs dans leur mission. En principe, ils devaient se faire remplacer bientôt après leur installation par des agents autochtones. Il était convenu aussi que les centres missionnaries de la Société deviendraient financièrement indépendants au plus tôt après leur fondation, afin que les ressources de la Société 'ainsi libérées puissent être appliquées ailleurs. Le cas de l'archidiacre Thomas Vincent de Moosonee illustre bien une des difficultés de réaliser cet idéal dans la région de la baie James, où la population métisse était jugée incapable de succéder à ses directeurs européens.

    Inuktut Uqausiit (Inuit Languages) in Canada – History and Contemporary Developments by Nadine C. Fabbi, Canadian Studies Center, Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies, University of Washington, Seattle. The author would like to thank Heather Campbell, Language and Culture Coordinator, Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami; Toni White and Catharyn Andersen from the Torngâsok Cultural Centre, Nunatsiavut; and Jay Arnakak, Qikiqtani Inuit Association, Nunavut for their expert advice. Written for the Arctic Indigenous Languages Symposium, Sustainable Development Working Group, Arctic Council, coordinated by the Inuit Circumpolar Council (Canada), and hosted by the Saami Council, Norway, October 2008, www.arcticlanguages.com. Language not only communicates, it defines culture, nature, history, humanity and ancestry. Preserving endangered languages is a vital part of securing the culture and heritage of our rich human landscape. Language keeps traditions alive, it inspires knowledge and respect about our past and the planet on which we live, and it links communities across borders and beyond time. Quoted from the United Nations web site “The UN Works for Cultural Diversity: Endangered Languages” The scientific community has warned that such historical assimilation campaigns—combined with declining Indigenous populations, increased mobility, economic pressures, as well as exposure to television and other communications technologies—could lead to the loss of half of the world’s 6,000 to 7,000 languages by 2050. With such a decline, they warn, will come the demise of local knowledge, mentalities, creativity and heritage, as well as specialized information such as unique survival skills and traditional medicines. from Canada World View, Fall 2004 Language is a cultural mosaic of communication.

    Purveyors of “religion, morality, and industry”: Race, Status, and the Roles of Missionary Wives in the Church Missionary Society’s North-West America Mission DEREK WHITEHOUSE-STRONG* The Church Missionary Society (CMS) and its missionaries held that, regardless of race, the wives of CMS agents could facilitate the Society’s work in the Canadian mission field. The Society also maintained, however, that the Native wives of CMS agents in Canada possessed advantages over their European-born counter- parts, including hardier physical constitutions and ties of kinship, culture, and language to local Aboriginal populations. Nevertheless, because prejudices and axioms rooted in racial assumptions governed the attitudes of European-born individuals towards those of Aboriginal ancestry, many contemporaries doubted the ability of Native women to overcome what were considered to be racially inherent weaknesses and to embrace and project the core essential values and ideals deemed necessary of middle-class missionary wives. La Church Missionary Society (CMS) est ses missionnaires jugeaient qu’inde´pen- damment de la race, les e´pouses des agents de la CMS pouvaient faciliter le travail de mission de la CMS au Canada. La CMS estimait e´galement que les femmes autochtones de ses agents au Canada posse´daient des atouts que n’avaient pas leurs homologues ne´es en Europe, dont leur physique plus robuste et leurs liens parentaux, culturels et linguistiques avec les populations autochtones. Quoiqu’il en soit, comme les pre´juge´s et les axiomes ancre´s dans les a` priori raciaux gouvernaient les attitudes des personnes ne´es en Europe envers la population d’ascendance autochtone, de nombreux contemporains doutaient de la capacite´ des femmes autochtones de pallier ce que d’aucuns qualifiaient de faiblesses * Derek Whitehouse-Strong received his PhD in History from the University of Manitoba (2004).

    P032 Diocese of Moosonee Synod Office fonds 1848-2018 36 linear meters of textual records, architectural drawings, photographic records, and artifacts Administrative History: Founded in 1872, the Anglican Diocese of Moosonee encompasses the James Bay, south of Hudson Bay, and surrounding areas in Northern Ontario and norther- western Quebec. James Bay area communities were considered part of the Diocese of Rupert’s Land, founded in 1849, until 1872. The Diocese of Moosonee was overseen as part of the Ecclesiastical Province of Rupert`s Land from 1875 until 1912 when it became part of the newly created Ecclesiastical Province of Ontario. On Moose Factory Island and surrounding areas now considered part of the Diocese of Moosonee, early missionary services were carried out by the English Wesleyan Society under Reverend George Barnley from the year 1840 until the arrival of the Anglican missionary John Horden in 1851. Horden was sent to the Moose Factory HBC post by the Church Missionary Society (CMS) in order to minister to both the Aboriginal community there and the European residents alike. He arrived with his wife Elizabeth from Exeter, England, and was ordained deacon and priest by the Bishop of Rupert`s Land in 1852, due in large part to his success within the Moose Factory community. Horden established a day school early on and a small mission school in 1855 while translating religious works into Cree. Horden was ordained at Westminster Abbey as the first Bishop of the newly established Diocese of Moosonee in 1872. This meant that the size of the Diocese of Rupert`s Land shrank in 1872 with the creation of the Diocese of Moosonee and then shrank further in 1873 with the creation of the Diocese of Athabasca.

  • EMILY TURNER TIMBER and TIN: Church Design And
    ANALYSIS | ANALYSE TIMBER AND TIN: Church Design and Construction in the James Bay Mission, 1850-1890 EMILY TURNER is a PhD candidate in architecture >EMILY TURNER at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. Her research focuses on the development of physical infrastructures in Christian mission stations in Northern Canada in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. ince the early French presence in SNorth America, missions to Canada’s indigenous peoples have been a key aspect of European expansion into the territory. The second half of the nine- teenth century, in particular, was of note for the Church Missionary Society (CMS), the evangelical branch of the Church of England’s missionary programme, which focussed its efforts on Canada’s North and West, as part of their larger evangel- istic enterprise across the British Empire. Although focussed primarily on preach- ing and conversion, the presence of mis- sionaries was most effectively denoted through the construction and growth of churches and mission stations. Five of these stations were located on the shores of James Bay, with the specific focus of evangelizing the James Bay Cree.1 The churches erected at these stations, in particular those at Moose Factory, which became the seat of the newly created Diocese of Moosonee in 1872, and at Fort George, demonstrate two key approaches to church design and construction, which, when examined in light of the CMS’s policy on ecclesiastical infrastructure development, clarify the important lim- itations and conditions faced by these remote stations as regards their approach to architecture. The five mission stations in this region were located at the Hudson Bay Company posts of Moose Factory in the south; Rupert House, Eastmain and Fort George on the eastern shore of the Bay; and Fort Albany on the western shore.
