The gathering of armed government personnel, the sound of fired weapons, and the entrenched commitment of Indian people at Wounded Knee, South Dakota, constitute a chilling and grim reminder of a senseless slaughter of innocents less than 85 years ago at the very same site. That occasion saw U.S. troops bearing down on defenseless men, women, and children in the little village.

The following listing is taken from the Adult Education Series, The Lutheran Church in America, presented by the Board of Publication, 2900 Queen Lane, Philadelphia, Pa. 19-129. These titles were chosen for review by The Vanguard because they relate the Christian commitment to specific problems in society and specific issues in human relations. Each set of books is designed as a study course for church/ discussion groups. We recommend them especially for white North American Christians - for use by the entire congregation, the social service committee, the elders, the adult Bible class - and urge that they be taken …

A recent Associated Press news story by Bernard Gavzer makes a startling, frightening comparison between the conditions which marked the lives of people in minority communities in this country during the 1960's, and the conditions which affect their lives today.

"As bad as things were then. . . they are worse now. Jobs, police, hostility, housing, schools, welfare, medical care. Bad. And a change, too, in many people. Despair, isolation, a notion that the color of evil is white."

As Lutheran meetings go, this was a strange one. Probably more non-Lutherans than Lutherans were present. And most of the non-Lutherans were Indians - Indians from California, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Minnesota, South Dakota, Oklahoma, North Carolina, Illinois and a few more states.

"One thing American Indians don't lack is Indian experts. All told, there are probably more experts than Indians. For example, on the poverty-stricken Oglala Sioux reservation at Pine Ridge, S.D., sixty-four research projects are currently under way with a combined cost in academic salaries alone that would feed all the hungry children on the reservation ...

A hope which LHRAA has held through all the days of its history is that the church would assume a responsible position of leadership in the matter of human relations.

Working as catalyst in some situations, and resource in others, the Association has found itself in increased contact with church leaders in designing and executing programs to equip clergy and laity for leadership roles.

At first glance this quote may seem to be taken from testimony given concerning the events at My-Lai or Song-My. Actually it is the testimony of an Indian warrior who was at the scene of the massacre at Wounded Knee Creek, South Dakota, in 1890. The quotation is taken from "The Indian in America's Past" edited by Jack D. Forbes, Prentice-Hall, 1964, page 50.

For we are ruled by Christ's love for us, now that we recognize that one man died for all men, which means that all men take part in his death. He died for all men so that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but only for him who died and raised to life for their sake.

No longer, then, do we judge anyone by human standards. Even if at one time we judged Christ according to human standards, we no longer do so. When anyone is joined to Christ he is a new being: the old is …

Nineteen months ago, Federal District Judge Richard B. Austin charged the Chicago Housing Authority with racial discrimination in site selection. He ordered that no more public housing could be built in black neighborhoods until 700 units have been built in white areas.

Since that ruling was issued, there has been no construction of public housing.
