Changing the Future
Update From Craig Smith (Ojibwe), Director of On Eagles’ Wings
I am just thrilled about what we have experienced already here at Warrior Leadership Summit. Groups came rolling in all day long and it was neat to see these Native youth coming from places hundreds and thousands of miles away to Warrior Leadership Summit. When we had pretty much the bulk of the crowd in, we were still setting up chairs in the back of the auditorium.
There’s always awkwardness on the first day and especially for our Native people. A lot of times we’re shy and a little more reserved. Some of them might not say that about me. We observed some nervousness and shyness falling off the backs of so many of these young people.

No Longer Alone
Update From Ron Hutchcraft
In order to grasp the excitement and historic nature of what’s going on at Warrior Leadership Summit, you have to imagine being a Native American or a First Nations young person with Christ in your heart. If you are, you feel alone, and sometimes totally alone. Your family wishes you didn’t believe what you believe and may have actually persecuted you for your beliefs. You are, perhaps, the only Christian you know in your generation. You live among people who believe that Jesus is the “White Man’s God,” and because of that you’ve lost your culture, your language, and your life. You are alone.

And the Summer of Hope for Native young people launches in just 36 hours!
They’re flying right now from Eskimo villages that are 400 miles from the nearest road...they’re coming from what has been described as “one of the most violent reservations in America”…vans are rolling from First Nations communities across Canada…they’re Sioux from the Dakotas, Senecas from the Northeast, Seminoles from the Southeast…they’re Navajos from the desert Southwest and Nez Perce from the mountainous Northwest. And they’re excited – and so are we!
