To believe in the Mouthpiece of God in His Day confers very
great blessings, not only on individuals, but on races, and he hopes that you
who are now numbered amongst the followers of Bahá'u'lláh will give His Message
to many more of your tribe, and in this way hasten for your people a bright and
happy future. (21 December 1947,
written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to a Native American Local Spiritual
Assembly; The Compilation of
Compilations, vol. III, Cultural Diversity in the Age of Maturity)
