The introduction by Brown and Brightman describes Nelson's career in the fur trade and explains the influences affecting his perception and understanding of Native religions. They also provide a comparative summary of Subarctic Algonquian religion, with emphasis on the beliefs and practices described by Nelson. Nelson captures a reasonable understanding of Cree and Ogibwa conjuring and beliefs as an outsider willing to learn. There are many different ways to view his writing on religious beliefs, yet, he tries to explain within his western framework and model. Truly a remarkable book, Jennifer Brown and Robert Brightman, should be congratulated on their work.
Foll This is a reproduction of George Nelson’s notes from Lac La Ronge between December 1819 and June 1823. I don’t want to see our history on Cree mythology romanticized. George Nelson’s text is like a voice out of the past reminding us of our spiritual history (p. 197-8).

The introduction by Brown and Brightman describes Nelson's career in the fur trade and explains the influences affecting his perception and understanding of Native religions. Brown, Robert A. Brightman. Among Anglo-Canadian fur traders of the early nineteenth century, George Nelson stands out for his interest in the life and ways of the native people he encountered. In 1823 Nelson was serving as a Hudson's Bay Company clerk in charge of the post at Lac la Ronge, an outpost of Ile a la Crosse in northeastern Saskatchewan. During that time he kept a letter-journal, addressed to his father, in which he related his observations of Cree and Northern Ojibwa religion and myth.
