Potawatomi Prayers and Hymns
by Rev. Maurice Gailland, S.J.
1866
The Rev. Maurice Gailland (pronounced "guy-own") was a Catholic priest who, along with fellow Jesuit Christian Hoecken, studied the language for the purpose of converting Kansas Potawatomis to Christianity. Gailland also produced several Potawatomi grammars, a dictionary and translations of some of the scriptures used in Catholic masses throughout the year; none of these were ever printed, but survive in manuscript form.
This text is a small book of prayers and hymns, 119 pages long, with a black cover. The picture of St. Cecile above is the frontispiece. The copy in our collection has a name inscribed in it, Madeline Aitkens, of Mayetta, Kans., and the date, Sept. 8, 1940.
To view this text, click on the title page or the picture of St. Cecile above, or "first page" in the links. Move from from page to page by clicking on the links for "last page" or "next page" in the links section.
You may view some of the prayers from the book, together with the English version of each, transcribed into a more readable format. Start by clicking the icon to the left or "transcribed pages" in the links section.
