"In de Dark Wood, No Indian Nigh": William Apess and the "Indian Hymn"

“In de Dark Wood, No Indian Nigh”: William Apess and the “Indian Hymn” examines how William Apess used hymnody, Native identity, and Christian discourse in early nineteenth-century America. The article focuses on the “Indian Hymn,” a hymn associated with Native religious performance and oral tradition, and analyzes how Apess adapted Christian forms to express Indigenous experience, survival, and critique of white American society. Rather than simply accepting missionary Christianity, Apess reshaped religious language to assert Native humanity and political presence.
