Institutionalizing the Indigenous Principle
The American Indian College and Mesa View Assembly of God
This chapter tells the story of the Native students of American Indian College and its white missionary founder, Alta Washburn, and how the fight for an all-Indian Bible school was a move toward forcing the Assembly of God (AG) to acknowledge the importance of the indigenous principle. It also explores the leadership of Navajo evangelist Charlie Lee, who founded the first indigenous AG church among a federally recognized tribe.
