| Summary: | This article argues that if the Canadian state forced "civilization" on Indigenous Peoples, Churches involved in the colonial policy of the state offered "salvation" through various strategies. Through the use of an important cultural artefact and narratives of residential school survivors, this article explores some of these strategies. The result of this exploration reveals the deep entanglements between modernity and Christianity, and the nature of Christian theological claims. |
