They recently erected a large sign proclaiming that "Jesus Christ Is Lord on the Crow Nation," and cited Psalm 33:12 which says, "Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance."

The Crow tribal secretary, A.J. Not Afraid, noted, "Within our nation there is a struggle of peace. This is part of the foundation to initiate peace, initiate joy, initiate happiness."

"Today we lift up the name of Jesus," added Legislator Conrad J. Stewart. "We have a sign that is supported by the government that will not be moved, that will not be taken down."

"As a sovereign nation, we're not bound by separation of church and state," continued Stewart. "People are afraid to say, 'Jesus,' in the political arena, but we did it today, as a people."

The Crow Nation had passed the "Jesus is Lord" Resolution in their Tribal Legislature back in 2013, which authorized erecting the sign. Click here to read the resolution.
