North American Indian Religions on CD
The protection of Native American cultural and religious expression has been hindered throughout
history by federal and state law. The problems experienced by Native Americans in their struggle
to assert their basic rights of religious and cultural self-expression under the United States
Constitution are unique among minority groups in the United States. The treatment of religion and
culture as separate entities is evident through the history of United States legislation.
Native American religion is closely connected to the land in which Native Americans dwell and the
supernatural. While there are many different Native American religious practices, most address
the following areas of "supernatural concern": an omnipresent, invisible "universal force,"
"taboo," pertaining to the "three 'life crises' of birth, puberty, and death," "spirits,"
"visions," the "shaman," and "communal ceremony."
We present this wonderful library of fifty-five {55} historic books related to Native American
religions on a Gift Quality CD.
