Indigenous Bibles Canada

In 1804 the British & Foreign Bible Society was formed. In the same year they published their first translation of a Gospel into a language other than English. It was the Gospel of John into the Mohawk language. This is a link to a video from the Canadian Bible Society about that very unlikely story. https://youtu.be/EPeVgrmey4U

https://ebible.org/bible/ is a place to find Bibles in some electronic formats by country. The copyrights are different for each publication. They don't have every language, but every few months I check to see if they have added any new ones for Canada. This evening I found Southern Carrier had been added. I also found Inupiatum (Northwest Alaska Eskimo) also known as Inupiaq or Northern Slope under the USA listing. This is a language that is also in spoken in north west North West Territories.

I added another language to the website today, Potawatomi. There is a link to a scan of the 1844 translation of Matthew & Acts and also a link to the Bible App with the same translation. I have no idea if anyone in Canada still speaks the language. The main island of the Walpole First Nation is Pottowattomie which points to its history of the language/people in the area. www.indigenousbibles.ca

Bkejwanong Nation (Walpole Island) in southern Ontario was the first in Canada to have their Indian Agent removed. An important 5 minute video.

In 1856 Silas Tertius Rand translated the Gospel of Saint Luke into the Mi'kmaq language of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and PEI
