Jesus did get to the Indians of North America , by the missionaries who came early on and set up reserves and built homes for some and showed them Jesus Christ and many people got saved , I some times wonder in the Indian wars some missionaries got killed , just wonder about the saved Indians who still were saved without a spiritual guidance in the wilderness , how Jesus spirit continued on

Christian missionaries saved no First Nations people. They all but destroyed them.

How can you believe Jesus loved every human if he didn't care enough to teach his lessons to everyone. He was god there's no explanation that makes up for the fact he never visited them. You can make up all the excuses you want but God doesn't love everyone. He clearly didn't care enough to send his son to teach them. I want to hear a real explanation for this blatant lack of respect and love displayed by the "savior"

The story of the early Jesuit missionaries who arrived in North America between 1632 and 1637 is a remarkable by all accounts. For twenty long years, they toiled alone and unaided in the vast, wild regions of eastern Canada, bearing the hardships of a harsh climate, scarcity of food and inadequate lodging, as well as the constant menace of those inhabitants they had come to evangelize. Nevertheless, they worked and prayed unceasingly and bore all these hardships for the love of Christ and the salvation of souls, being filled with joy at the opportunity to suffer and bear fruit for our Lord.

In Catholic grade school, we took a bus trip every May to the Martyrs' Shrine in Orillia to get our scapulars blessed and gain a hell-preventing indulgence.

Bonus!!

It was always a nice break near the end of the school year. Plus, in 7th and 8th grade, the girls were growing interesting bumps and the bus rides back occurred after dark...in a darkened bus.

I would say, he has come to those who value life, more than death.

Native Americans, or any other human being can think for themselves.
Religion for the most part is nothing more than a hodgepodge of beliefs.

And, according to the Bible, Jesus opposed the Religious Establishments.
As the highest culminating point of their beliefs were that of Sin and death.

they did speak to them. I think The indians understood better what they meant.

Agreed.

Or maybe I should say "amen."

Doesn't make to much sense when we are talking about an all knowing entity.
