This work details the efforts of the Moravian missionaries as they seek to establish a mission among the Indigenous Esquimaux of Labrador, highlighting their challenges, victories, and interactions with both the native population and European traders. The book is likely to appeal to readers interested in the intersection of religious missions, colonial history, and the cultural dynamics of native peoples. The opening of the narrative introduces the Moravian mission's genesis and sets a context for the missionaries’ intentions, stemming from a desire to spread Christianity and improve the lives of the Esquimaux. It recounts the early obstacles faced by these missionaries, including previous failed attempts and the complex relationship between the European traders and Indigenous groups. The initial hardships, including dangerous weather conditions and mutual distrust, form the backdrop for introducing key characters, such as Jans Haven and other missionaries, as they endeavor to build friendships, foster understanding, and ultimately spread their faith among the native people, as well as resist the corrupting influences of other Europeans.
