Annotated bibliography for Native American Missionary work

Below is the annotated bibliography that I used in putting together the section of the presentation dedicated to Navajoland missions. I have omitted 400 Years, as Tim has already seen to its inclusion in his bibilography. A very extensive bibliography is also avalible on the National Episcopal Church website.

Anderson, Owanah. 100 Years: The Good Shepherd Mission to Navajoland 1892-1992.
This publication is available through the Office of Parish Resources of the national Episcopal Church. It gives extensive background information on the Navajo culture, including much on the religious rituals. As a brief monograph on the history of Fort Defiance and the medical missions established with the aid of Episcopal Church Women in Westchester, New York. Anderson also includes the diverse history of the many missionaries who journeyed to Arizona and the successes and failures of the work undertaken. This is information which is included in edited form in 400 Years: Anglican/Episcopal Mission among American Indians also by Anderson.

First People’s Theological Journal published by The Indigenous Theological Training Institute.
The introduction of this inaugural edition invites the reader to contemplated the theological contributions of indigenous peoples. The journal includes work done in the areas of native spirituality, preaching and proclamation, as well as articles integrating Christianity and indigenous traditions.

The New Jamestown Covenant
This document produced by the Episcopal Church is a statement devoted to the reconciliation of indigenous people and those of European background, focusing particularly on the affirmation of oppression, yet seeking conversation and remembrance. It includes prayers and a historical timeline of the Episcopal Church’s dealings with indigenous peoples.
