Controversey Over Sacred Place

A video that we watched in class about sacred places placed a new perspective for me on the explotation of Sacred Native American sites. In the video, There was much debate about rock climbers on Devil's Tower during a certain time of the year when the Native peoples there held a marathon arround site. While watching the discussion with the white locals, I became shocked by their responses about the Natives having an inferrior say in the sacredness of a site. One man claimed that a church is inside and not out. I would have to disagree with this statement, because I feel that Biblically speaking, a Church is peaople, and not a building. It is community.
