Title: Mormon Baptism of Native American Indian,1882

Caption: Mormons posing as the apostles of Christianity baptizing an Indian in front of a group of Indians; photographer with camera in right foreground. Native Americans and Christianity have a history that dates to the the arrival of the first European explorers. This history is marked by genocide, cultural destruction, domination and resistance. Much of the destruction was done for land, politics, and power, but a significant part of it was done for religious reasons, as Christians embarked on a world-wide, conversion-by-the-sword. re-education scheme. No artist credited, 1882.
