American Indian Studies

Explore a variety of Native American religious topics — rituals and ceremonies, objects, leaders, etc. — as well as the spiritual aspects of other topics such as food, art, dance, literature, and more.

See volume 1, starting on p. 83, for essays on Native American creation stories, Native American women and Christianity, the Christian underpinning of boarding schools, and the appropriation of Native American religious traditions by whites.

This compelling volume explores the various aspects of Native American healing found cross-culturally in North America, including Canadian and Inuit cultures.

First published in 1972, Vine Deloria Jr.'s God Is Red remains the seminal work on Native religious views, asking new questions about our species and our ultimate fate. Celebrating three decades in publication with a special 30th-anniversary edition.
