Abstract
In the rush to preserve the native cultural fragments of the American Indian, ethnologists and musicologists have tended to neglect or scorn semi-Christian aspects. Lately the students of ethnology have awakened to the importance of culture mixtures termed acculturation, but musicians lag behind. To my knowledge only Willard Rhodes is aware of the rich fund of Indian hymnody. During my four years of work among the Algonquian Indians of Michigan' I would have been blind and deaf to escape this type of music, for it plays a profound role in the lives of these Christian Indians.
