"Ten Years of Missionary Work Among the Indians at Skokomish, Washington Territory" by Rev. M. Eells is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the author's experiences and efforts as a missionary working with the Skokomish tribe from 1874 to 1884. It provides insights into the challenges faced in promoting Christianity and education among the local Native American populations, discussing both their successes and failures. At the
start of the narrative, Rev. Eells sets the context for his mission work, highlighting the historical and social landscape of the Skokomish Reservation in Washington Territory. He discusses the interactions of the Skokomish and related tribes with various waves of white settlers and traders, culminating in the establishment of the reservation through treaties. Eells expresses his belief in the necessity of education and Christian teachings to uplift the Native population, while also recognizing the complexities introduced by their existing beliefs and the surrounding societal influences. He outlines initial obstacles faced, such as language barriers, cultural practices, and the delicate balance of integrating Christian values within indigenous traditions.
