 | | Since then most of the Greenland Eskimo have been gradually civilized and Christianized under Lutheran and Moravian auspices. | | | In 1752 a Moravian missionary party made a landing on the Eskimo coast of Labrador, but was at once attacked by the natives, who killed six of them. | | | In 1771, however, they attempted a mission settlement at Nain, this time with success, Nain now being the chief station on the Labrador coast, with five other subordinate stations, counting altogether some 1200 Christian Eskimo. |
