I have heard this too, that missionaries nowadays have taken different approaches, seeing how past ideas have not been healthy for the people they are trying to help. I heard where in some of these villages they employ the indigenous people to carry around bible stories and teach them to the other villagers. That wasy they are not pushing their white ways on the villagers. It was heartening to learn that they are seeing their past mistakes and learning from it.
It's horrible to see the world marching on and taking away land from indigenous people. If you can find it, get a copy of the Emerald Forest and watch it. Just incredible.
