566 Native Tribes in the United States 1

November is recognized by the United States government as American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month.  Earlier this week, the latest numbers were released on the 566 tribes in this country.  For the past three years, I have written about Native Americans (First Nations if in Canada) here at the blog.  According to one estimate, the Native America population is about 8% evangelical.

HERE is a link to the latest numbers on the 5 million Native Americans in the United States.

HERE is last year’s post related to this topic  (You will also find several other links there related to Native Americans.).

What are your thoughts that after centuries of labors among these peoples, 92% are without Christ?

How does the history of the United States’ treatment of Native Americans affect disciple-making labors today?

What can we learn from the history of missionary labors to the Native Americans that would affect missional practice today?

What are the unique strengths that our Native American brothers and sisters bring to the global disciple-making mandate?
