Slave...
"Slave, or Tinné, is spoken by
Indians living along the shores of
Great Slave Lake and the upper Mackenzie River, in the North-
west Territories of Canada. Spoken in several dialects, Slave is
an
Athabascan tongue, closely related to Chippewyan and Yellow-
knife, and more distantly to the tongues of the Dog Rib, Hare,
Bear Lake, and Mountain Indians.
The translator of the Slave Scriptures, William Bompas, has been
called the Apostle to the Northland. He covered his parish of one
million square miles in dogsled, canoe and snowshoes, and
preached in Slave, Beaver, Dog Rib,
Tukudh, and other lan-
guages. He visited the Indians of the Mackenzie River and was
led snowblind into the igloos of the Eskimos along the shores of
the Artic Ocean. Upon hearing, while in the Yukon, that he
had been appointed Bishop of Athabasca, he began the 2,600-
mile trip alone across the Rockies to his new [area], and arrived
at his episcopal residence so travel stained that he was mistaken
for a tramp and escorted to the kitchen. He built not cathedrals,
but log chapels and school rooms for his congregation, and, as
his most lasting achievement, he gave the Scriptures to the
Indians of the North." --1000 Tongues, 1972 [Info only]
