_bydbach_, 9 months ago (edited 9 months ago)

The possibly by far most unexpected find in my search for new names to add to our list of new articles for the #Bywgraffiadur is probably the Reverend Peter Jones, or by his birth name KahkewAquonaby. He was born in 1802 to a Mississauga Ojibwe woman and a Welsh father. Following his conversion to Methodism, he became a missionary, preaching in Ojibwe and English.

So, long story short: are there #historians and @histodons of #Religion, #FirstNations in #Canada here on Mastodon who feel like writing up this man's biography for inclusion in the Dictionary of Welsh Biography?
