description: In 1049, the first Canadian Native American Bahá'is, Melba and John Loft, abandoned a comfortable middle-class existence in Marysville, Michigan, to teach their Faith in the land of Jim's forefathers, the Tyendinaga Mohawk Indian Reserve in Ontario, Canada. Despite hardship and tragedy, the Lofts preserved, fulfilling Jim's cherished dream of bringing Bahá'u'lláhs word to First Nations people. This, their daughter Evelyn's memoir, is the record of that challenging and exhilarating time.
