Noting how Richard Twiss was a voice for reconciliation in evangelicalism beyond a spoken apology, Smith describes how Twiss called for decolonization instead of proselytizing. Specifically, Twiss and Wiconi International facilitated the return of 40 acres of land to the Wiyot tribe in Eureka, California. And the call for decolonization extended beyond Native Peoples to include Palestinians and the LGBT community. Committed to the idea of being fully Christian and fully Lakota, Twiss was criticized for being syncretistic but continued his pursuit of justice and holistic reconciliation between majority and minority groups.
