This photograph of a man standing in front of a church evokes the complexity of the relationship between Native peoples and European religions. We are keenly aware of the atrocities and persecutions in the Americas (amongst other places) carried out in God’s name. But what significance does that hold for Indigenous people today who find meaning in Christian religions? I tread very lightly when it comes to other people’s faith and never questioned Clarence, the person in the photograph, as to how he perceived the historic conflict.
