In many parts of the world people associated with organized religion have intentionally dishonored or desecrated sites sacred to indigenous people.
Here is the desecration of the Shaman Rock on Olkhon Island by members of a Pentecostal congregation from Irkutsk.
This place, where the white-headed eagle is believed to have descended from Heaven to become the first shaman, is one of the most sacred sites in Mongolian shamanism.
Here the missionaries pose proudly over their inscription of “Jesus is Lord” on this holy rock.
