520 $aThe Encyclopedia of Native American Religions is the first in-depth, one-volume reference for the general reader that explores this fascinating subject, reclaiming it from the periphery of American religious and historical study. Despite a long history of suppression by governments and missionaries, many Native American beliefs and spiritual traditions have endured as dignified, profound, viable and richly faceted religions. The encyclopedia's broad scope encompasses major religious systems, well-documented ceremonies, and legislation and court cases affecting Native American religious belief. More than 1,200 entries in this work describe traditional beliefs and practices, the consequences of contact with Europeans and other Americans, the forms Native American religions take today, and many notable individual figures connected with Native American religious life and thought. There are extensive entries on sacred objects; religious societies; Navajo, Pueblo and Yaqui ceremonialism; Peyote religion; religious leaders such as Handsome Lake, Black Elk, Wovoka, Pretty Shield, and Ruby Modesto; Mission organizations; and hundreds more, cross-referenced for easy access. - Publisher.
