The United Church of Canada is known for progressive mission policies, which have encouraged overseas churches and mission organizations to be self-governing, self-sustaining, and self-propagating. Over time, the evolution of foreign mission policies has led the United Church to develop partnerships with overseas mission bodies from whom they now take direction. Home mission policies, however, have lagged behind. This has particularly been the case with mission work amongst Aboriginal people in Canada. As a result of regressive, colonizing policies for its “Indian missions,” the United Church caused significant harm to Aboriginal communities, for which it apologized in 1986 and 1990. In this article, I will examine the differences in the evolution of United Church foreign and home mission policies, and the effects of these policies in their various stages upon indigenous peoples. I will focus my study on United Church documents between 1925 and 1980, the period in which this missionary work underwent the most significant changes.
