The Teaching House

I am in the land of the Nisga’a for the next few days. I am hear to talk with the people that attended the “Teaching House” event that we held last November. It is great to hear how the Church continues among this Nation. They adopted Christian faith because it seemed to parallel their own law that they believe the creator gave to them. Indigenous people in Canada embraced the gospel because they recognized the creator in the person and teachings of Jesus Christ. They had a kind of “Old Testament” as Steven Charleston calls it. An experience of knowing Creator before the coming of the Europeans. One of several eagles that I saw in the Nass river. Indigenous people continue to see the work of the creator in and around them.
