DESCRIPTION:In nineteenth-century British Columbia\, the proce
 ss of colonization and the attempted elimination o
 f traditional practices impacted greatly on how in
 dividuals understood health and medicine. Using th
 e diaries of a Tsimshian man and irregular Indigen
 ous missionary called Arthur Wellington Clah\, we 
 can see how health knowledge and disease events im
 pacted the ways Indigenous individuals viewed and 
 interacted with Euro-Canadian missionaries. As Cla
 h navigated the rapidly changing world around him\
 , how he understood health changed in interesting 
 ways. Using the seventy-two volumes of his diary\,
  supplemented by the writings of Euro-Canadian mis
 sionaries in the region\, we can trace the change 
 over time of the ways in which all of these missio
 naries\, Indigenous and Euro-Canadian alike\, saw 
 the world around them. This helps us to better und
 erstand the importance of the medical dimension of
  proselytization and its significance to the wider
  colonial project.
