Native concerns and Local churches

I searched the web for local diocese to the New York city and region (NJ etc) to see what the Churches are doing with or for Native Peoples. I didn't find any Native American Minsitry offices in any of the Cathlic dioceses. Interesting, at leat 27,000 Native people live just in NYC - plus what ever numbers within an hour from here. Anyone interested in getting something going that we can eventualy present to our Bishops and ask for an Office for Native American concerns?

This whole process for me has been very rapid. I began searching for my ancestors at the age of 14. I am 64 now and to some that might be a long time. But during the process of searching for my ancestors I've gathered over 25,000 of them. So the amount of time spent looking for them is quite relative to the amount of ancestors I have found thus far in my…

The future of this NING network?

Hi everyone,

I don't know if any of you have read about this -- see this message from the NING directors: http://creators.ning.com/forum/topics/ning-update -- but it looks like if we don't pay NING, this network will be shut down, and everything created here, all of the information shared, will be lost for good.

As the person who set up the network early in 2008, as an alternative to something else that was then… Continue
