RICHARD HATHIS The Warning Signs of Missionary Mentality Much ado has been made of lale in Ihe Native American comimiiiily regarding missionary mentality. Actually, Indians have been rulhci wary of missionaries since the days when the missionaries dispensed small po\ blankets. Don't get ns wrong; we don't think all missionaries are bad. Most of them have good intentions and are trying to do good. It's simply that we lend to levl like I horcau when he wrote that if he knew a man was coming to his house for Ihe sole purpose of doing hint good that .he would rapidly lice out the back door. In reality, there appears to be two basic types of missionaries, as well as leaders: I) those who are willing to listen to |>eoplc, nature and the Cheat Spirit and 2) those who are willing for the people, nature and the Great Spirit to listen to them. It's (he latter type of missionary that appears to be of most concern to other people here and to us. In order to identify such malcontent missionaries, the following warning signs might be helpful: 1). Ihe maladroit missionary does not listen to advice, suggestions or recommendations. He can't: he's too busy advising, suggesting or recommending to everybody else. 2). l ikewise, the magniloquent missionary is the one who upi^s-Lin after you linished making public remarks and proceeds rcr^n everyone what it was that you Were really trying to say. 3). Or else the magisterial missionary is jumping up to inform everyone that it was under his tutelage that you learned how to think and talk in the first place. 4). If the manipulative missionary can't wail lor you to finish speaking before he jumps up to correct you or to lake credit for your performance, then you can rest assured that he will be jumping up to give you notes while you are talking publicly. 5). However, sometimes the magnanimous missionary is so generous as to give prepared statements to his developing leaders to ensure that they don't put their foot in their mouth without his able assistance. 6). I ypically, ihe managerial missionary will ensure that he has con trol ol the agenda tor a meeting. If he has learned some small degree of subtlety, he will have a developing leader chairing the meeting and carrying-out his agenda, should people start spontaneously talking and wander astray from the celestial agenda assigned by Ihe mis sionary, he will start clearing his throat to let ihe chairman know it is lime to move-on. 7). I hat's because ihe majestic missionary thinks that no one is capable of doing anything without him. He alone will lead the poor, downtrodden and oppressed up Ihe mountain side. 8). I he manuring missionary thinks that lie is alone capable of do ing so because lie believes people are mushrooms: to be kept in the dark and led dung. 9). And if any of the llock should leel fleeced or llim-llammed, or should they have any criticism whatsoever of the maniacal missionary, he will immediately launch into a spirited sermon, condemning the critics for their lack of compassion and comradrie, and blasting their boo-huoing as blasphemy. While our natural tendency is to treat such missionaries as mulig nant (as they well might Ik), they are really mealy-mouthed and not very manly, preferring to let women do their lighting for them when I hey are cornered. I litis, if yon should happen upon such a miscreant missionary, remember lliconlv nroven antidotes are truth and humor.* Census Takers Needed Would )ou like a part-lime job earning liuiu $5 10 $8.50 per hour depending upon ihe position and being reimbursed 24 cents per mile lor automobile expense* il you are a lield worker" I liese are I lie opportunities lor those who ate being resumed to lake ilk IWO l).S. census ol population and bousing.
