"In our less than perfect history of over 50 years of ministry at Rock Point, those who have come from the outside have struggled to be humble, patient and willing to recognize the need to discover how God

We praise you and join the hosts of heaven in their unending hymn: (In Unison) Holy, holy, holy Lord, Lord God of power and might: Heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest. Our Father in heaven, hallowed be thy name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespassed against us. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory for ever and ever. Amen Rev. Dr. Lynn Hubbard, who sings and plays guitar, is planning a series of concerts starting in the fall of 2009 at churches and other venues in Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Colorado, California. The free fundraising concerts are to raise awareness about mission projects and the new Mission in Reverse model that the mission is operating under since he arrived in the Spring of 2009. While still following the original goals of the mission, Rev. Hubbard is taking a respectful and humble approach to the mission's work in the Navajo community. He believes the purpose of the mission is to minister with the Navajo not for the Navajo. With the century-long horrors of the Christian boarding lasting to mid 1900s still fresh in elders' minds, Hubbard believes we need to practice healing and reconciliation, not judge people whose path to the divine life might be different than ours. The Navajo Lutheran Mission is featured in the November 2009 issue of "The Lutheran" magazine, an ELCA national publication.

There are lots of connections between the indigenous communities in the United States and the Palestinian community: both the corporations and governments that have oppressed them and the strategies of resistance that they've used to fight back. Organizers from across the U.S. put together The Indigenous Youth Delegation to Palestine, which connected Native and immigrant youth from the U.S. with youth in Palestine. Ora Wise of the Palestine Education Project, Ras K'Dee of SNAG Magazine, and hip-hop activists Invincible of Detroit and the Narcicyst join us in the studio to talk about their experiences organizing across borders, creating solidarity between communities of struggle, and being part of a new generation of activists forming their own connections. If you're in New York, Thursday evening, October 22, Ras K'Dee, Invincible and the Narcicyst will be performing at Public Assembly in Brooklyn. Check it out!

It's been seven years since the Wyoming Indian High School Chiefs have won a state championship in basketball. For most schools, this is a rather unremarkable statistic. But for the inhabitants of the Wind River Indian Reservation, who have experienced a century and a half of injustice, basketball is a form of empowerment, self-expression, and access to the world outside "the rez." By using basketball as a vehicle, the film explores what it means to grow up Native American at the turn of the 21st century.
