Title	Lord's Prayer Written in the Wyandot Language
Subject	American Indians in Ohio Religion in Ohio
Place	Wyandot County (Ohio) Upper Sandusky (Ohio)
Description	This 13" x 15" (33 x 38 cm) two-sided document is the Lord's Prayer written in the Wyandot language with an English translation. It was written by Wyandot missionary James Finley (1781-1856) for use in his church and school. Finley was appointed to his post by the Methodist Episcopal Church and successfully converted more than half of the Wyandot tribe in present-day Wyandot County to Christianity. With the help of Wyandot leaders Between-the-Logs and Mononcue, Finley ran a store and farm in addition to the church and school. Fifty-one children attended the school during Finley's tenure, which he was forced to leave due to poor health. He spent six years (1821-1827) among the Wyandots, and published several accounts of his experience, including Life Among the Indians. The Wyandots were removed to Kansas in 1843. The English translation of the Lord's Prayer (King James version) is: "Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts,as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen."
