Description: Dr. Richard Gounds speaks to the United Methodist General Commission on Religion and Race. He speaks about of the way the U.S. Government, with assistance of the church, established boarding schools and other ways to remove Native Americans from their songs, traditions, ceremonies, and language. He also speaks of the part played by John Wesley, and of the way the White population gave Christianity to Native people in exchange for their land.
