(Pierre) Duchaussois, Pierre Jean Baptiste Aux glaces polaires: Indiens et esquimaux Produced by Laurent Vogel, Nicole Pasteur, Chuck Greif and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Aux glaces polaires: Indiens et esquimaux" by R. P. Duchaussois is an ethnological and historical account written in the early 20th century. This work explores the interactions and experiences of missionaries with Indigenous peoples in Canada, specifically focusing on the Dénés and Eskimos in the Arctic regions. It delves into themes of evangelization, the significance of fur trading, and the challenges faced by these communities. The opening of the book sets the stage for a profound exploration of the author's journey into the remote and harsh conditions of the Arctic Canadian landscape. It discusses the long-standing efforts of missionaries, particularly Mgr Grandin, to reach and uplift the Indigenous populations within these icy territories. Initially, it highlights the tension between the needs of the missionaries to support and evangelize the local tribes amid difficult conditions—including scarcity of food and supplies—and the oppressive power of the fur trading companies, showcasing the socio-economic dynamics at play. Through vivid reflections, the author captures the subtleties of life in the far North, the hurdles faced, and the sacrificial spirit of those committed to the missionary work among the Indigenous communities.
