Mission to the Umatilla / Carr, Kathy / (PB /1981-1981/B+/USED)

For centuries the Umatilla Indians had freely roamed the fertile valleys and rolling hills of Oregon, hunting, fishing, and harvesting wild berries and roots for a living. Then the white man came, and both the property and freedom of the Indians were gradually but inexorably diminished. As a consequence it is very difficult to get them to accept Christianity. "The white man broke his promise and stole our land, so why should I want to know about the white man's God" is the way one Indian bitterly put it.

Verna and Lee Clay, and others, have been trying to show why--by demonstrating by life and action the disinterested love and compassion of Christ; by seeking to help their children; by trying to provide for their physical and social needs; by getting as close to them as possible; by endeavoring to understand their culture and their thinking. Progress is slow, but love an break down all barriers.
