1939 Halftone Print Cemetery Eskimo Inuit Teller Mission Alaska Tombstone XGOA9 THM 29 x 29 cmThis is an original 1939 sepia halftone print of a Inuit cemetery in Teller Mission, Alaska. Missionaries from the Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran Church built Teller Mission in 1900. The mission was later renamed as Brevig Mission, in honor of the first reverend appointed there. This image is an excellent example of how Christianity influenced the native Inupiaq tribe, whose custom was not to bury their dead. CONDITION This 72+ year old Item is rated
