Spiritual Warfare on the Arrival of the Gospel

About a year ago, I discovered "new" information in Father Nicholas Point's illustrated journal, Wilderness Kingdom. He describes starting the first Jesuit mission among the Coeur D'Alene tribe in November 1842, exactly 170 years ago. He tells in the attached pages of how "about a dozen years" before the Jesuit mission a Spokane by the name of "Gueri" had come from the Red River mission and shared the Bible and Protestant teachings he had received while there. What is new is Father Point's careful record of an old CD'A elder's testimony about the coming of Garry, the resistance of Chief Stellam, the spiritual warfare that followed and plague, the vision of the elder from heaven to believe in Christ alone, and cast away all idols. Amazing. I am thankful for Father Point's work in noting the man's testimony, despite the Jesuit additions to the gospel that did not build on Garry's foundation. However, this does show us that at least for several years there was a profound effect on the Spokanes and even the Coeur D'Alenes as a fruit of Garry's preaching. This little-documented period of time from 1630-1642 has been at least filled in to some extent now. I will attach a link soon for the PDF file of these scanned pages. Brian
