After the war of 1812 many missionaries of different faiths travelled throughout the region each approaching Shingwaukonse, attempting to convince him that his people should follow their religion. A tribal council sent Shingwaukonse to York (Toronto) to ask Sir John Colborne, the Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada what religion the King practiced. Colborne advised them that since the King was Anglican the Ojibwes should follow the Church of England. In 1832 he sent an Anglican priest, Rev. McMurry to establish a church, St. John's at Garden River.
