This article examines Native peoples within the race reconciliation movement in evangelical Christianity. Native evangelicals have become increasingly prominent within New Charismatic movements, particularly through the work of the Promise Keepers movement. This presence promotes male dominance, political quietism, and Christian imperialism within Native communities. At the same time, however, Native peoples have used race reconciliation as an opportunity to promote treaty rights and sovereignty struggles within White evangelical communities. Thus, it is unclear if the race reconciliation movement will ultimately push people of color to the Right or White evangelicals to the Left.
