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.
