Unifying the Church Around the Native American with Tuff Harris I Champions Summit

In this inspiring and challenging talk, former NFL player Tuff Harris shares his personal journey from the Crow Reservation in Montana to a life of purpose and leadership, using his experiences to shed light on the deep historical trauma, cultural complexity, and mistrust that Native American communities face. He outlines the painful history of annihilation, assimilation, and boarding schools, and how these continue to shape present-day reservations and the honor-shame dynamics within them. Speaking to the Body of Christ, Harris calls for a shift in mission work from a top-down charity model to one of mutual respect, empowerment, and partnership. He challenges churches to recognize and elevate the God-given value and gifts of Native Americans by giving them platforms to lead, serve, and shape their communities. With practical examples of transformation through inclusion, Harris shows that true unity and healing come when we move from “helping” to “valuing,” from temporary relief to shared ownership, and from external solutions to empowering internal leadership.
