5 minute read Saturday, Jan. 11, 2025Among the many benefits of being a faith reporter and columnist at the Free Press is a chance to learn more, and write about, the experience of Indigenous people in this country, including their interactions with Christianity.
This has helped make up for my lack of education I received in school about this important history while growing up in the 1960s and 70s.
Like many others of my boomer generation, I learned Canadian history from a colonial point of view. In that telling, Canada was an empty and unsettled land until the Europeans arrived, bringing civilization, progress — and religion — to what they considered to be a backward people.
So while I learned about famous European explorers and the settling of this land, I heard nothing about Kondiaronk, a Wendat chief who lived from 1649-1701. Among other things, Kondiaronk challenged the assertion that Europe and its religion was superior to the beliefs and way of life of Indigenous people.
