Jesus came and said to them, “All
authority in heaven and on earth has
been given to me. Go therefore and
make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the
Father
and of the Son and of the
Holy Spirit, and teaching them to
obey everything
that I have commanded you. And
remember, I am with you always, to
the end of the
age. Matthew 28:18-20

Overview
From 1-3 May 2006, in Pala,
California, a Youth-Elder
consultation of the
Anglican
Indigenous Network (AIN) identified the need to build a
“network that works”; to identify
and nurture a new generation of
Anglican/Episcopalian indigenous
leadership.
These needs have taken shape in the
form of the Indigenous Nations
Project.
The Indigenous Nations Project seeks
to connect young indigenous leaders
with indigenous communities. Young
adults and youth will be taken out
of familiar environments and away
from distractions, and connected
with indigenous culture
and traditions in community – either
amongst their own people,
or in community with other
indigenous brothers and sisters who
share similar stories, struggles,
and hope.
A number of projects have been
identified to meet the goals of the
Indigenous Nations Project.
Through these ventures, participants
from across the membership of the
AIN will be placed in, and connected
with the life and work of,
indigenous communities in mainland
USA, Aotearoa/New Zealand, and
Hawai'i: |
All projects will benefit the
community, spiritually,
economically, socially and
recreationally. They will have a long
term effect on the communities, and
the participants, designed to last
for decades. It is envisioned that
the Indigenous Nations Project will
initially run for three years, from
2006 through 2008.
