Synopsis
Despite a long history of suppression, Native American beliefs have endured as dignified, profound, viable, and richly faceted religions. The Encyclopedia of Native American Religions is the first in-depth, one-volume reference for the general reader that explores this fascinating subject.
More than 1,200 cross-referenced entries describe traditional beliefs and worship practices, the consequences of contact with Europeans and other non-Indians, and the forms Native American religions take today.
