While some American Indians insist that Christianity is incompatible with their culture, the American Indian Christian Circle of Thonotassa, Florida, a suburb of Tampa, blends Christian and Native American traditions.
Led by Dock Green Silverhawk, a Creek-Cherokee hospital chaplain, the group of 50 or 60 people meets weekly at Thontassa United Methodist Church for worship and sacred dancing, "dancing to Jesus."
"We worship Jesus Christ, but we worship him in a Native American fashion, with a big drum."
