Live and let live.
White people in the 21st century telling Indigenous folks that their current faith (be it Christian or otherwise) is a problem, just like it was 100 years ago.

We've already been over this, a month ago, and I'm not sure if you forgot or you simply chose to quietly ignore it instead of actually processing it, but all you're doing is playing identity politics.
Criticism of Catholicism, or referring to indoctrination, can and should happen regardless of one's race. You're posturing as though you have some dispute with "the white man telling indigenous folks what to do," yet here you are infantilizing an entire race of people, saying that one of the faiths they believe in (which is shared by people of many other races and backgrounds) should be protected from the same criticism one would apply to followers of the same faith but a different race.
How about you, a presumable white man, treat indigenous people as your equal? Would that be ok? Criticism of Catholicism is criticism of a religion, not of a race of people, and can and should apply regardless of the race of the follower, unless you think of them as somehow lesser than someone of a different race who follows that same religion. Which would be insane.
