Native American advocacy

The land that is now the United States and Canada was once the exclusive homeland of indigenous peoples. Non-Native American Anabaptists who live on this land benefit from the genocide and displacement of indigenous peoples, regardless of whether they were personally involved in these atrocities.

MCC is committed to addressing the injustices done to the Native peoples of this land, the First Nations in North America. The MCC Washington Office encourages policymakers in Washington to enact legislation that acknowledges and addresses the injustices (both historical and ongoing) to the Native peoples of this land.
