“Where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth” is hell, and the American Indian isn't going to hell, contrary of Christian Fascists’ feigned concern over the American Indians' salvation.

Tribal members share stories that the primary goal of the evangelical charities is conversion to Christianity and elimination of traditional Oglala Lakota spirituality.
There's feigned concern by one group that likely doesn't proselytize on Pine Ridge specifically, but where do they get their stats?

Only 2-10 percent of native people have accepted Jesus Christ as their lord and savior, meaning that the need and opportunity is great for ministry in Christ, empowered by God’s Holy Spirit. More than ever before, now is the time for all of us to join together in sharing the truth about salvation freely given through Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
Who knows where stats like “2-10 percent” come from, and I don't even think God knows why they think they've the right to this spiritual abuse.

Little Spotted Horse and others who asked for anonymity for fear of reprisals from church supporters described incidents of aggressive proselytizing and demeaning treatment of Lakota spirituality and language, baptizing children without parental permission, use of humiliating poverty porn to fundraise, and of forwarding a colonial agenda that privileges non-Native values and goals. Some members have made allegations of sexual abuse and financial misdeeds and point to the failure of most organizations to conduct background searches for their workers and volunteers.
The following is why I don't believe “Only 2-10 percent of native people have accepted Jesus Christ as their lord and savior.”

Indeed, Native American membership in evangelical Christian churches and ministries seems to be growing. In a 2016 article in the Journal of Religious and Political Practice, Elizabeth McAlister, Professor of Religion at Wesleyan University, describes how evangelicals have broadened their appeal to Native Americans. According to McAlister, beginning in the 1980’s evangelical Christians began framing their proselytizing and prayer narrative in military terms such as spiritual warfare or battles. In this line of thinking, all of human history is an ongoing battle of Satan against God. Native Americans have a special role to play in this world view. Denouncing the evil of idolatry inherent in traditional Native spirituality forwards the evangelical mission to drive out demons from the earth and paves the way for the end times and entry into the kingdom of God.
The Christian Fascists want all American Indians “Denouncing the evil of idolatry inherent in traditional Native spirituality forwards the evangelical mission to drive out demons…”
That means goodbye Pipe.
That means goodbye Sweat Lodge.
Dominionism's Threat Against Indian Country
"Our communities are still struggling with the consequences of forced assimilation through religious and education institutions designed to ‘kill the Indian’ in us," said Innu human rights lawyer Armand MacKenzie, who attended a residential school in Quebec.
Christian Crees Tear Down Sweat Lodge
Meanwhile, the Oujé-Bougoumou band council notified Lana Wapachee by letter in early December that several elders and community members were coming to her property to take the sweat lodge down. And they did. It was dismantled on Dec. 6 as Mianscum and dozens of community members stood witness. Police said the outer structure had to be dismantled as well. All the materials were left in a pile in the yard.
That means goodbye Sundance.
That means goodbye PowWow.
Goodbye sacred ceremonies of all tribes.
And goodbye Wiping of the Tears ceremony, then there really will be “Weeping and gnashing of teeth” - and the American Indian will truly be in hell.
