Hello,Im new at this,so please bear with me,if I place this in the wrong area.Please assist me as I am trying to find data on the very first missionary contacts of the Nemiah people and what the early missionaries wrote in there books,journals,and diaries of the religous customs.Im trying to get precontact data that havent been corrupted by christian beliefs.Example,Ive heard it but Ive yet to get it confirmed that the chicoltin people have no word or conscept of a creator deity ,though they are very spiritual people.That they have a system of honouring and praying to there ancsestoral spirits for guidance.That they believe all things have a spirit wether animal,human,plant,lake,mountian or stones.Can anyone confirm or deny this or add data,perferably from the most earliest of sources as christian influences have polluted thought and reinterpitation of past events.
