Moccasin Footprints is the web site for Native American Ministries of the Tennessee Conference United Methodist Church known as CONAM.  Our ministry was created in the late 1980's with a particular focus on urban ministries with Native Americans as one of the goals.  Over 60% of Native Americans live away from their reservations.  A move after WWII bussed American Indians  'off the reservations' to large cities. This added to the trauma of losing more cultural and traditional identity, thus "urban ministry".  Within the Tennessee Conference, we have large rural areas, so our focus is not only urban areas.

Currently we are updating our site to be more interactive.  Stay tuned!  

The TN Conference CONAM (Committee on Native American Ministries) has been committed and active in working with the Native American Community, the local church and the community at large.  

> Partnering with local churches.
