- Title

- Abstract
In Canada, the Oblates of Mary Immaculate were actively invested in the evangelization of Indigenous peoples. Historians and anthropologists have analyzed this complex history, focusing on the strategies used by missionaries who, for the most part, originated from France, Belgium and other European countries. However, there has been no study of the vocations of Indigenous women and men. This paper deals with two male trajectories, that of Anthony Manernaluk and Nick Sikkuaq, who were both blood brothers and coadjutor brothers. The author shows that celibacy as well as the social requirements of the Oblates were challenging demands and constituted obstacles to priesthood for the Inuits who had been brought up with other sets of sociability markers.
