Although I think a majority of people were descent folks and thought they were doing the right thing, it still breaks your heart to see images from the past where very powerful people wanted to erase the native peoples culture and roots. Never was much for religion myself. 35mm slide. 1960s. Found in a junk shop in Summers, Arkansas.

I was shocked to discover a friend of mine’s sister was planning to leave to work as a missionary, not so many years ago. Destruction of other people’s cultures in the name of religion is contrary to the very words of tolerance and acceptance, many churches preach.

Never been a fan of anyone telling me I have to accept or tolerated anything they deem acceptable. That goes for the non-religious types as well.
