SINGING A CULTUREBy John DouglasI suppose the appropriation of Christian hymnody by the 19th century Minnesota Ojibweg is not a subject of vital interest to a broad sweep of American consciousness; but the sensitivity and delicate perception with which Michael McNally has opened the subject should not pass without notice. It is no less than fascinating to watch his unwinding the knot of early American religious music as it was absorbed by the Anishinaabe and reinterpreted in such a way that it became a stalwart (albeit quiet) support of the original Ojibwe culture itself. The subject fascinates and the quality of writing engages the reader. A fine piece.
