Description
In this diary entry Father Inama talks about his experiences when he first came to the United States. He says that he was dressed like a European and because of this everyone could pinpoint him and knew that he was a foreigner. One of the first places that the boat ported from the coastal states to the Midwest was Mackinac Island which is an island where lakes Huron, Michigan and Superior all meet up. Father Inama discusses his first experiences with the Indians, more specifically the tribes of the Chippewa and the Menominee. He must have spoken to them as he was helping them set up their tents because he mentions a few details about them in his diary entry--explaining that they (the Native Americans) have accepted and brought forth the Catholic faith, just what Father Inama came to the states to do in the first place!
