‘OUR sacred Grandpa pipe’: Tribal members erupt in rage because a Christian church taught … Christianity

‘Not welcome here anymore’

Members and friends of the Northern Arapaho tribe, based in Wyoming, have erupted in rage because a Christian teacher, inside a Christian church on private land in a private building where people can attend voluntarily, taught the basic principles of Christianity.

Those include that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation.

The subsequent church-bashing by tribal members has been documented by Cowboy State Daily.

One condemning the church was identified in the report as Christian Wassana, an enrolled Cheyenne Arapaho of Oklahoma, who played Martin Kills Many on “Yellowstone.”

He described the actions of Foundations for Nations church pastor Sarah Lucas as, “A pastor speaking at a church on the Rez in Wyoming condemning Sundance, one of our oldest and most sacred ceremonies.”

A video clip, showing the Christian pastor explaining that “Jesus is enough.”

Wassana’s posting exploded online, and he objected to the church’s statements about faith, claiming it “feels like history repeating itself, with attempts to erase and discredit our traditional way of life.”

He insisted that “claiming that one path is the only path while belittling and condemning ours is deeply disheartening,”

The report explained Wassana objected to the pastor’s references to tribal beliefs, “In the Northern Arapaho tribe, the flat pipe is associated with the creator, and some sun dance rituals center on the pipe and treat it as a sacred object.”
