This collection of hymns was compiled by Peter Jones, a Mohawk chief and Anglican missionary who played a key role in the spread of Christianity among the Iroquois people in the 19th century. The hymns, sung in the Iroquois language, reflect both European and Native American influences and address a range of religious themes from praise and thanksgiving to repentance and redemption.
