• W2282967446 abstract "Reviewed by: Capture These Indians for the Lord: Indians, Methodists, and Oklahomans, 1844–1939 by Tash Smith Rowan Steineker Capture These Indians for the Lord: Indians, Methodists, and Oklahomans, 1844–1939. By Tash Smith. Tucson: University of Arizona Press, 2014. vi + 246 pp. Illustrations, notes, bibliography, index. $55.00 cloth. In Capture These Indians for the Lord, Tash Smith provides a carefully researched and engaging history of the Indian Mission Conference (imc) in Indian Territory and Oklahoma. The study begins in 1844 with the Southern Methodist Church’s establishment of the imc, a distinct organization charged with facilitating missionary efforts among Native peoples in Indian Territory. It then traces the imc’s history through its nadir during the Civil War, efforts to rebuild during Reconstruction, and [End Page 71] attempts to expand among the Plains Indians during the late 1880s. The book concludes with the marginalization of Native members during the “boomer” movement and the transition from an Indian mission to a white-dominated organization, the Oklahoma Conference, in 1907. Smith adeptly accomplishes two critical goals with his analysis. First, he provides important nuance to polarized histories of mission work among indigenous peoples that tend to portray Euro-American missionaries as benevolent emissaries of Christian civilization or as agents of genocide. Second, Smith demonstrates the considerable agency that Native peoples exerted in the complex missionization process. Smith shows that rather than simply acting as recipients or even victims of conversion attempts, Indians either rejected Christianity or indigenized it. On many occasions Native communities in Indian Territory used Methodism to create religious spaces, defend their own culture, and exert autonomy over their beliefs and practices, much to the frustration of Euro-American missionaries. A major strength of the work is that Smith does not limit this discussion to the so-called Five Civilized Tribes, whose relationship with Christian missionaries throughout the nineteenth-century is well known. Instead, he expands the scope to highlight the larger significance of the imc for diverse Plains Indians. For example, the book effectively explores missionary J. J. Methvin’s struggles to expand the imc mission to the Kiowa-Comanche-Apache agency in southwest Indian Territory among tribes who had far less exposure to Methodism and Euro-American culture. Though Smith highlights the diversities and complexities of various Native communities, readers might have benefited from a bit more comparative context for the various Christian denominations in Indian Territory, especially the Baptist and Presbyterian presence among the Five Tribes. Nevertheless, Capture These Indians for the Lord makes an important contribution to the history of Methodism, Native American history, and Oklahoma history.
