Preserving Culture

We had an indigenous leader come in today to speak to us today about bringing the gospel to the various tribes that we will be visiting over the next few weeks. One of the most important points that he made was the ability for the tribes to keep their culture while still choosing to embrace the Christian faith. Certainly that is one of the biggest mistakes made in Canadian history - stripping Native Americans of their culture and imposing our way upon them.
