The book provides an account of the author's experiences and observations while living among the MacKenzie River Indians in North-West America, specifically in the area that is now part of Canada. Charlotte Selina Bompas and her husband, William Carpenter Bompas, were missionaries who lived and worked among Indigenous peoples in the region. "Owindia" likely includes descriptions of the culture, customs, and way of life of the MacKenzie River Indians.While "Owindia" may not be as widely read today as some other classic works, it offers valuable insights into the experiences of early European missionaries and their interactions with Indigenous peoples in North America during the late 19th century. It is a historical and anthropological document of that time and place.
