On the front page of www.nativeres.org there is a link to a "Circle of Prayer (Join Today)" -
I followed the link and discovered that there are specific passages from Christian scripture (from the KJV no less) which I assume is supposed to provide inspiration to pray (to Jesus) for the U.S. to apologize to Natives.
I skimmed over the Prayer Circle, it looks like a Christian based church which engages in prayer circles and fasting. They call themselves the Intercessors for America and was establish in 1973. Who knows? Almost all Indians are Christians.
What's up with the "prayer circle", eh?
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean, Sarah?

There are just so many things wrong with that...
