Pastor apologizes for Sundance comments. Protesters are skeptical
On a rainy Sunday at the end of August, about a dozen protesters held up signs outside the Foundations for Nations church near Arapahoe. Cars and trucks honked in support as they passed. One sign hanging on the fence summarized the general sentiment: “Leave.”
“She called our sacred pipe an idol,” said Northern Arapaho member MiRae Yellowbird.
Yellowbird is one of about a dozen protesters who have staged themselves outside the Foundations for Nations church every Sunday since Pastor Sarah Lucas called the tribe's Sundance ceremony a “demonic activity” during a sermon on July 5, the last day of the ceremony.
