$\"iroquois-5\"$ <\/a><\/div>\n

My original topic initially focused on Protestant Christianity among the Iroquois Confederacy during the colonial era. However, due to a slew of primary source material I have come across, I would like to refine this topic to include Iroquois peoples’ encounters with Christianity in general. Below are five primary sources including four works of art and a sacred religious text.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Ernest Smith, \u201cHandsome Lake Preaching His Code at the Longhouse,\u201d 1936, watercolor, Rochester Museum and Science Center.<\/p>\n

This is Senecan preacher Handsome Lake granting a sermon. He is known for syncretizing indigenous Senecan beliefs and aspects of Quakerism. His teachings came to encompass an entire religion, Gaiwiio, whose sacred text is visible here<\/a>. A full citation of the religious text is immediately below.<\/p>\n

Parker, Arthur. The Code of Handsome Lake, the Seneca Prophet.<\/em> Albany: University of the State of New York, 1913.<\/p>\n

Handsome Lake’s religious code, the eponymous The Code of Handsome Lake<\/em>, was compiled by anthropologist Arthur Parker, who vigorously studied Iroquois culture.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Father Chauchetiere, \u201cSaint Kateri Tekakwitha,\u201d c. 1682-1696, oil on canvas, 41 x 37 in., St. Francis Xavier Church, Kanawake Mohawk Reservation, Montreal, Quebec.<\/p>\n

Kateri Tekakwitha is depicted in the portrait above. A survivor of smallpox, she converted to Catholicism at the age of 19. She is both beatified and canonized.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
