Description: The Native American drive for self-governance is the most overlooked civil rights struggle of our time - a struggle too often covered up. David Phillips Hansen examines the church's role in helping America heal its bleeding wounds of five centuries of systemic oppression. Using faith as a weapon against the darkness of injustice, this book will change the way you view how we must solve the pressing problems of racism, poverty, environmental degradation, and violence, and it will remind you that faith can be the leaven of justice.--from back cover of book.
