Fredson, Jean Todd, 1869-1964.

The Indian Shaker Church is a Christian denomination founded in 1881 by Squaxin logger John Slocum in Washington. The Indian Shaker Church is a unique blend of American Indian, Catholic, and Protestant beliefs and practices. The Indian Shakers are unrelated to the Shakers of New England (United Society of Believers) and are not to be confused with the Native American Church.

In her manuscripts there are reports from eye-witnesses to events leading to the founding of the Indian Shaker Movement and information about the history of Mason County, WA.
