Susan Elaine Gray. "I Will Fear No Evil": Ojibwa-Missionary Encounters along the Berens River, 1875–1940. East Lansing: Michigan State University Press, 2006. Pp. 214. Bibliography. Illustrations. Index. Notes. Paper, $29.95.

Although at first glance Manitoba may seem far removed from the shores of Michigan, the Ojibwa living along Lake Winnipeg emigrated from Sault Ste. Marie in the late eighteenth century as hunters for the Hudson Bay Company. By the mid-1820s their cousins who remained at Bawahting faced American expansion, missionization, and boarding schools, as well as an economy that during the next twenty years shifted away from the fur trade. In contrast, those who moved to the Berens River continued to participate in a fur economy and practice their traditional culture without facing similar pressures until nearly the end of the nineteenth century. For anthropologists and historians this has meant that the process of cultural encounter along the Berens River is particularly accessible, both in written documents and oral tradition, which led scholars like A. Irving Hallowell, E. S. Rogers, and Mary Black Rogers to pursue extensive fieldwork there in the early to mid-twentieth century.
