Oglala Lakota
Upon suffering beyond suffering; the Red Nation shall rise again and it shall be a blessing for a sick world. A world filled with broken promises, selfishness and separations. A world longing for light again. I see a time of seven generations when all the colors of mankind will gather under the sacred Tree of Life and the whole Earth will become one circle again. In that day there will be those among the Lakota who will carry knowledge and understanding of unity among all living things, and the young white ones will come to those of my people and ask for this wisdom. I salute the light within your eyes where the whole universe dwells. For when you are at that center within you and I am in that place within me, we shall be as one.

Dane & Brittany Gorrow
Mohawk
Dane and Brittany Gorrow are both First Nations from the Mohawk Nation of Akwesasne, NY. They have 4 children together: Deacan, Liam, Kaleb and Heaven.
Dane comes from a troubled childhood with challenging beginnings, starting with the loss of his father when he was 15 months old. Without the guidance of a father figure in his life, he was misguided down a path of drugs, alcohol and smuggling in his youth. This resulted in various arrests in the USA and Canada. However, it was through these types of struggles that Dane was led to the Lord by his best friend, Roy, who introduced him to his Pastor, Willie Jock, who happened to be Dane's very own uncle.
Since giving his heart to the Lord Jesus Christ, in 2010 Dane received his foundation through the ministries of David Wilkerson’s Teen Challenge New England residential program. After graduating through the recovery program, he stayed on as a PM Supervisor assisting others in the program at the Vermont campus. This program solidified his faith. He was given an opportunity through his chosen father, Willie Jock, and Dr. Bob Doe to attend the Loren Cunningham’s University of Nations YWAM base in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. Dane has joined various ministry trips including a 3-month endeavor to Cape Town, South Africa with YWAM; joined Jonathan Maracle of Broken Walls ministry; and traveled through Indian country, Germany, Scotland, Canada, and the USA. Dane has experience in the chemical dependency field as having previously worked as a Resident Aide and In-Patient Counselor at the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe’s Partridge House program. He is currently serving the community as a Home Health Aide worker providing companionship, daily and routine care for the elderly and infirm Mohawk community members.
Brittany has been serving her community over the past 15 years at her tribal government on her reservation. She currently works in Human Resources as a Payroll Specialist, serving the valued employees of the organization. Brittany also has additional experience serving in the Finance Department as a Program Accountant. She was eventually promoted to Senior Accountant and assisted with budgetary and financial information to the grant funded Tribal Programs operating within her tribal government. Brittany also serves in the administrative role within her home town church at New Life Christian Center, Akwesasne, NY.
With the loving support of his wife, Brittany, Dane is honored to join the All Tribes DC Executive Team under the mantle of his chosen father and mentors, the late Willie and Sandy Jock, founders of New Life Christian Center, Akwesasne, NY. Dane and Brittany humbly serve the body of Christ under the pastoral leadership of Willie’s brother, Randy Jock, at New Life Christian Center. Nia:wen (Thank You)
