Translation
Translated by Joseph Onasakenrat (1845-1880), an Iroquois Mohawk chief, during his training for the ministry of the Methodist Church of Canada. He had been originally a Roman Catholic, and, while being prepared for the priesthood at a seminary at Montreal, had made a translation of the Liturgical Epistles and Gospels according the the Roman use. This version of the Gospels was examined before publication by two educated Indians, Jean Dion and P. Laforte.
