About eight years ago, Terry M. Wildman was pastoring a church on the Hopi Indian Reservation in Arizona.
In a storage room at his church, he found a New Testament Bible that had been translated into the Hopi language.
“I tried to find someone that could read from it, and I really couldn’t find anyone who could read from the Hopi Bible," he says.
That started Wildman on a journey to create a version of scripture that honors Native American language and thought patterns.
The First Nations Version is just that – an indigneous translation of the New Testament.
Terry Wildman, is in northern Michigan to speak about his project. He chatted with IPR's Dan Wanschura.
