Myths & Misconceptions: Did the Indians welcome the Pilgrims at the First Thanksgiving?

Natives Follow Jesus

SHOW NOTES:

I believe Natives who Follow Jesus can “speak the truth in love” when it comes to history in the Americas and Christianity today. In the next four episodes I will be talking about Myths of Native America and Misconceptions of Christianity. Since I live in both worlds as a Navajo who is a Christian, I believe that I can add unique insight and perspective to the myths and misconceptions that I have chosen.

So let me briefly address my take on a myth of Native America and a misconception of Christianity in today’s episode:

• Did the Indians welcome the Pilgrims at the First Thanksgiving?
• Why is Christianity full of hypocrites?
