Meeting Our
Sisters In South Dakota
USA MISSION EXPERIENCE
September 9–16, 2010
A group of 20-30 Presbyterian women will travel to South Dakota in 2010 for the
second USA Mission Experience. They will connect concerns raised by past Global
Exchanges with similar issues in South Dakota. Participants will encounter
challenges to God’s promise of a beloved community and witness to the faithful
work being done by our Native American sisters.
Participants will
• meet Native American women and learn about the issues that
concern them—land
development, food, farming, church leadership, health
and social issues;
• visit reservations, schools, churches, tribal colleges and
historical sites; and
• hear the voices of our sisters and respond, building
mutually-supportive relationships.
At least one participant will be chosen from each of the sixteen synods. Our
synod representative on this trip will be Ginny McCook from Maumee Valley
Presbytery.
Additional information is available on the PW web site (www.pcusa.org/pw). Those
interested in this experience will find additional reading about the history of
Native Americans helpful. Book recommendations will appear in future issues of
Horizons beginning with the January/February 2010 issue.
