Christian Native Americans at Dartmouth (CNAD)
is a group of Native students who come together to share faith
experiences, concerns or questions. Our diverse backgrounds and beliefs enhance
our discussions, as we get to know one another, the Bible, and Jesus in an
informal, comfortable environment. We recognize the mistreatment many of our
Native Nations have experienced under the auspices of "Christianity;" however,
we see that these hurtful acts were and are carried out by a human misuse of
God's word and a misrepresentation of who God is. Today, many of us seek to
reconcile the truth of the Bible and the reality of Jesus in a personal way.
Therefore, the purpose of our group is to provide a supportive space for Native
students to connect on issues regarding faith and explore what loving God means
for our daily lives in practical terms. Many of us also seek to strengthen our
personal connection to our Native identities and cultures and further
understand them as gifts from God and expressions of worship. All walks of
faith and spiritual backgrounds are welcome.
