"Native Americans Take on Wokism "- by John Klar,

https://johnklar.substack.com/p/native-americans-take-on-wokism 

"The Massapequa case pits woke cancel culture against Native American voices who do not deem the term "chiefs" to be facially racist, but instead, as honoring their traditions. Many American Indians claim "chiefs" is not a disparaging name, but a historical vestige of their culture that New York seeks to erase in political correctitude."

welcome ! I've been meaning to do this for years

 I travel extensively across the USA and always see new native-american areas and reservations and add it to my knowledge & data base , as well as my prayer log. I know there are many native-americans who are already Christians- which is excellent ! but there are some who still are not and I want to try to reach them with the Good News of Jesus Christ ! So this is the beginnning of my attempt to do online ministry and evangelism to our native americans across the USA. Keep checking back. It usually takes some time to get a new blog like this rolling smoothly. It doesn't happen overnight. God bless you all, and God bless our Native-Americans !
