CONAM-Native American

CONAM, Minnesota Conference Committee on Native American Ministry exists to bring an awareness of Native American Christians to the Minnesota Conference and to serve as a bridge between the two. But in recent years, CONAM has ramped up the awareness piece and developed a new focus: ALLYSHIP They are helping people understand how they can be a good ally and how can we partner together with the church and the common culture to engage in Native American ministry with Native American people. We can help people to see that there’s nothing mysterious about Native American people and Native American spirituality. Using the structure of Native American healing circles and restorative practices, we can learn ways to be present for and supportive of marginalized people without taking over and doing harm.
