“
 The church?Christian missionaries ? quickly capitalized on the innocence of our forefathers. They fraudulently convinced our people that we were barbarians and converted some into Christianity. ? They declared that the converted persons must discard (1) the `animist` practices, (2) our festivals and that our Gods and Godesses were Saitan (evil spirits? Satan).
