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.
