Pahtahsegay on Peter Jones (missionary)
âI first said "No; that is the white man's God, and the white man's religion; and that God would not have anything to do with the Indians." âĶI thought that God could only understand English... I then met with Peter Jones, who was converted a few months before me, and, to my surprise, I hear him return thanks, at meal, in Ojibway. This was quite enough for me. I now saw that God could understand me in my Ojibway, and therefor went far into the woods and prayed, in the Ojibway tongue.â
