File info[edit]

Caption 1. An important consideration at the Alaska Conference was discussion on ways to extend the Faith among the American Indian tribes in the region. An informative panel discussion was held one morning at which Indian believers and active teachers discussed the challenge of teaching in the Arctic region. The key to teaching here, the panel concluded, is making friends and learning the native languages. Indirect teaching, though obviously slower, is most effective in winning new believers to the Cause, they said. The teachers should try to dispense with the notion that the people in the villages are to be treated differently from other people. Approach the task with the attitude that you are visiting your own family, the panel concluded. In the photograph at right is one of the Eskimo friends who took part in the program.
