One Native American student struggles with Christianity
Nick is a member of the Confederated Tribes and Bands of the
Yakama Nations and is pursuing a double major in Philosophy and
Sociology at Montana State University in Bozeman. He loves
writing, exercising and movies. About 300 Native-American students
attend Montana State University on a campus of 12,000 students.
I grew up on the reservation in south central
Washington, raised in a traditional spiritual belief system. It was
non-Christian: We sang in the Yakama language, worshipped with hand
drums and danced in a longhouse with a dirt floor.
When I came to Montana, culture shock hit me. My spirituality has
always been a large part of who I am. I felt I was losing mine.
