What I will suggest in the following posts is that the biblical vision is not for generic “reconciliation” but more specifically re-kin-ciliation. The goal of re-kin-ciliation is not the tolerant co-existence of autonomous individuals or groups. We Are Bound to One AnotherWhile acknowledging the reality of our past foundation in kinship, re-kin-ciliation also acknowledges the ongoing interconnectedness of our fates. So, in the case of Native peoples, re-kin-ciliation does not call us back to some mythical place of past harmonious relations between groups. It rather calls us back first to our common roots in the primordial human family, then to our common home.
