Cultural imperialism.

Cultural imperialism. | Centuries ago, there was an incident where a
pair of missionaries heard about a Gathering of Nations & thought it would be a good opportunity to convert Native People. They traveled a few hundred miles west of the Appalachian mountains to reach it. They learned that there would be storytelling, & joined that event to talk about the Bible. Because
they had come from furthest away, they were invited to
speak first. So they started talking about the Creation in
the Book of Genesis & continued on to the life of Jesus, summarizing the Bible in a couple of hours, &
when they were done the listeners praised them &
said that indeed that was the beginning of everything.
Then another group spoke and started telling their story of how the world started, but the missionaries interrupted them and said "No that's not the truth! We just told you the truth & you agreed with us! Why are you
saying something different now?" The Native People were
disturbed by their attitude & told them "We allowed you to
tell your story respectfully & without interruption; why will you
not do the same?" They did not gain any converts that day. | image tagged in jesuit to natives,christianity,history,tolerance,diversity,mission failed | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
