Last week, a pastor from Foundations for Nations Church stood before her congregation and disrespected the Northern Arapaho tribes oldest ceremony, Sundance. Over a hundred tribal members protested across Fremont County demanding an apology. She still hasn’t given one. Instead, she’s cast herself as the victim, being persecuted, for being Christian.
This is a clear reminder: the basis of this kind of thinking has never been salvation. It’s submission. Wind River Pride knows this behavior well. A couple years back, over 50 people from a local Catholic college showed up to protest one of our drag shows.
Different target, same script. A ceremony thousands of years old gets called archaic. A drag show gets called indecent. Either way, the message is the same: there’s one correct way to pray, to love, to be, and everyone else needs correcting.
For our non-Native folks, especially white folks: Follow the Northern Arapaho community’s lead on how to support them through this. Protest. Boycott. Divest.
To our Arapaho friends and family: WRP loves you and stands with you.
