520 |a England’s Church Missionary Society sent missionary William Duncan to Victoria, BC in 1856. His task was to convert the native Tsimshian who lived in the Fort Simpson area to Christianity. Grouped together with other historical accounts of the conversion of indigenous peoples, the story of Metlakatla is often characterized as a story of loss. However, this article posits a different reading of this history, one based on the idea that the material practices and beliefs of the peoples of Metlakatla suggest an ongoing engagement with this past, making for a living, transcendent historical trajectory. In examining the ways that the Metlakatlans engaged with and repurposed material religion in the Tsimshian and Anglican contexts, I demonstrate the significance of this alternate form of history. A material religion reading of a Chilkat dancing blanket, or gwishalaayt, helps illuminate the sometimes uncomfortable overlap between indigenous and colonizing perspectives, raising further questions about the boundary-lines and completeness of acts of conversion.
