Eagle Wings Native American Ministries

Eagle Wings Native American Ministries is a gatherings of First Nations People, and non-Native friends, who are finding freedom from addictions, healing from the wounds and carryover effects of past abuse, and personal fulfillment in life through an experiential, personal, spiritual union and relationship with the Creator through the Person of Jesus Christ. One-on-one ministry for abuse and/or chemical dependency recovery, domestic violence intervention, mentoring, teaching and fellowship.

Our History

Eagle Wings Native American Ministries began in 2002 in Seattle, Washington, by Rev Rodger Niemeier, formerly planting and pastoring Seattle Intertribal Alliance Church; he and 3 other Native People formed Eagle Wings as a ministry to effectively focus on providing ministry for the recovery from abuse, and its effects, and chemical dependency. These are two widespread, life-robbing issues of Native People across America and Canada.

Rev Rodger Niemeier has been ministering among Native People (Nome, Alaska; Seattle, Washington) for more than 40 years, and was also a teacher of recovery classes for 13 years at Thunderbird inpatient treatment center of the Seattle Indian Health Board.

Partnering with Rising Above Counseling ministry out of Niverville, Manitoba, Canada, Eagle Wings is developing effective ministry to aid Native People in recovering from historic trauma and resulting effects of domestic violence and abuse, and the alcoholism and drug abuse that often accompanies the unresolved pain of past abuse.

Eagle Wings Ministries (for short) has been registered as a church and Christian ministry since 2003 and considered a nonprofit religious entity for purposes of receiving tax deductible donations.
