She Was All Things to All Cheyenne

22 To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some.  1 Corinthians 9:22 Too often, the history of missionaries in America has been one of overriding a group’s identity to Christianize them.
