EDITORS COMMENTS
Baptising Natives: A Moment of Faith and Cultural Exchange in 1882 This evocative image captures a significant moment in the history of Mormonism and Native American relations. Taken in 1882, the photograph depicts a group of Mormon missionaries performing baptisms on a gathering of Native Americans. The scene takes place in a body of water, likely a river or lake, surrounded by a picturesque landscape of trees and rolling hills. The Mormon Church, founded in the United States in the late 1820s, had long held a complex relationship with Native American communities. While some Native Americans embraced the new faith, others saw it as a threat to their traditional beliefs and way of life. The Mormon Church, for its part, sought to spread the gospel to all people, regardless of race or ethnicity. In this image, we see the missionaries, dressed in their Sunday best, standing shoulder to shoulder with Native Americans, dressed in traditional garments, as they prepare for baptism. A camera man, positioned to the side, captures the moment for posterity. The scene is one of faith and cultural exchange, as two distinct communities come together in the name of a shared belief. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the larger historical context of the late 19th century, a time of great change and upheaval for Native American communities. As European settlers continued to encroach on Native American lands, many Native Americans turned to new religions, including Christianity, as a means of coping with the challenges of a rapidly changing world. Today, this image stands as a testament to the enduring power of faith and the complex ways in which different cultures have interacted throughout history. It also serves as a reminder of the ongoing importance of religious pluralism and the need to respect and honor the beliefs of others.
