I read an article today about Arctic environmental changes and how that is affecting the people of Barrow, Alaska. The article is worth reading and the videos are worth watching.
The Native American population is about 5 million in this country. Unfortunately, many of us rarely think about them. Today’s article was a great reminder of the Native peoples in this country and the challenges some are facing.
Over the years, I have written about the 566 tribes in the United States. Sadly, only about 8% of the 5 million are followers of Jesus. The North Slope Borough of Alaska contains the town of Barrow. The population is about 5% evangelical, with 1 evangelical church for every 1,347 people.
In our on-going conversations about the different people groups living in and migrating to this country, we seldom speak of Native Americans. Let’s not forget them.
