a quote from that page:

" SIL teams use native languages to
teach the Bible in a fundamentalist fashion that the North America
Congress on Latin America (NACLA) in its 1973 study concluded
diminished the way natives felt about the traditions of their own
cultures."

This is EXACTLY why i have banned proselytizing to the Daka-Pumdog in my
conlang - consociety(yes, i'm working on the sound changes..... are those
reasonable changes from "Taga-Bundok"? or should i not change "n" to
"m"?).  I also made them fiercly protective of their traditions too.
