This article examines the actions and motivations of the New England Company in New Brunswick. Although ostensibly a charitable body dedicated to improving the lives and habits of the Natives through the education of their children, Fingard argues that the Company was motivated more by the political consideration of making the Natives 'loyal' Anglicized Protestants. Even these efforts were hampered by corruption among the Company's agents and resistance among Natives to sending their children to Company schools.
