Letter from Squire Gray Eyes to James B. Finley

Squire Gray Eyes has found out how many of the Nation are members of the Church. There are 45 in the Shawnee, 42 in the Delawares, and 30 in the Kickapoos. He tells Finley the names of church leaders and also lists the people who have died. He is not satisfied being in the Southern branch of the M.E. Church. The missionary from the M.E. Church South is not strict enough and does not please him. He hopes Finley will visit next fall. Abstract Number - 854https://digitalcommons.owu.edu/finley-letters/1341/thumbnail.jp

Letter from Squire Gray Eyes to James B. Finley

Squire Gray Eyes (Wyandot Chief and class leader) reports that religion has prospered among the Wyandots. Between fifty and sixty new members have joined the church. The Wyandots are making preparations to move to the west. He would like Finley to come and visit them before they leave. He suggests that the first Saturday and Sunday in June would be the most desirable time, since this will be their last quarterly meeting in the state of Ohio and it will be a farewell meeting. Many of their white friends will see them for the last time at this meeting. Abstract Number - 218https://digitalcommons.owu.edu/finley-letters/1216/thumbnail.jp

Squire Gray Eyes reports that great work is being done among the Indian tribes. At a quarterly meeting recently held among the Shawnee group, the question of the M.E. Church South was brought before them, and they decided to stay with the M.E. Church (North). Some of their old friends have died. Squire Gray Eyes mourns the loss of a dearly beloved daughter-in-law, wife of his son John. She was in good faith with God. The Wyandots wish to be part of the Ohio Conference. As to their future missionary, they will gladly receive whoever the Ohio Conference sends. Abstract Number - 781https://digitalcommons.owu.edu/finley-letters/2287/thumbnail.jp

Judgy Eyes

I can feel them watching me, examining me. I try not to look directly at them for fear that they might see right through me. For so long I’ve walked amongst them and have tried to somewhat assimilate into their culture. But even then, I’m certain they feel something off about me, something that just doesn’t fit. And they’d be right to assume that, because I am different from so many of them. [excerpt
