Native Americans - Then & Now 

 
Native American land was reduced down to 2% of the continental United States. From the time of the white European's first arrival, to the late 1800's over 95% of the native lands were colonized. During the 1800's sixty separate tribes from around the country were forcibly moved to Oklahoma.

 
The apparent result of this upheaval has been disastrous. Despair surrounds us on the reservation. All the "First" Nations have huge health and social problems; poverty, diabetes, drug/alcohol abuse, child abuse, murder, suicide etc. Native Americans generally have 4+ times the rate of problems nationally. On the reservations drunk driving accounts for numerous deaths.

 
However, the Native Americans are rising up with their dances and songs. They are being welcomed by many nations around the world with their regalia and feathers and drums. God has a great purpose them. They will be the next messengers to take the Good News to the ends of the earth!
