Gathering of Tribes is on a mission to meet the needs of Indigenous Latter-day Saints. Working in collaboration with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we encourage Indigenous Latter-day Saints to nurture their faith in Jesus Christ, unite families through family history and temple work, care for those in need, and celebrate their cultural identity as it relates to the gospel. Gathering of Tribes is a non-profit organization with a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status led by Cindy Quinney (Onion Lake Cree), Shane Manning (Mvskoke Creek), and Amber Irwin.
We provide free community events to those who wish to celebrate their indigenous heritage and deepen their faith in Jesus Christ.
We create faith-filled media and content to empower Indigenous Latter-day Saints through the teachings of Jesus Christ.
We collaborate with Indigenous members and local leadership to plan service projects to help meet the needs of their communities.
