"Native and Christian" is an anthology of essays by indigenous writers in the United States and Canada on the problem of native Christian identity. These essays represent a new form of literary expression among contemporary native peoples, and they bring a fresh perspective to the liberation theology movement.
The native writers who contributed to this collection come from a number of distinct tribal backgrounds."Native and Christian" will be the first book-length work ever published addressing the subject of religious identity from a contemporary native Christian perspective. It will make an important and long-overdue contribution to the global liberation theology movement.

"The essays, some academic and some autobiographical, deal with the variety of ways in which the Christian faith of Native Americans relates to their historical traditions, the injustices they endure, and the challenges they face." -- Theology Digest, St. Louis, MO, Spring 1997
"This excellent anthology of 21 recent essays by writers from the US and Canada covers a wide range of perspectives on religious identity, while documenting what editor Treat refers to as a 'significant new collective voice on the North American religious landscape'." -- Booklist
"... excellent and well-edited ... Overall, this is a landmark volume that brings together native authors in a wide-ranging collection that shows clearly the complexity of being both native and Christian." -- Journal of the American Academy of Religion
