   Extractions: Please click here to access the current page The diversity of American Indian tribes precludes a comprehensive examination of their religions and their belief systems. Anthropologists have compiled a huge trove of information detailing practices and beliefs of many different groups, this information remained isolated from popular culture. While there is a proliferation of popularized versions of Native American spirituality, there are often not the products of the tribes or their members. The beliefs and practices of many groups are sectarian derivatives of other native groups, the there is also a significant infusion of Christianity, and more recently, New Age beliefs and practices permeating these traditional beliefs. The origins of contemporary Native American religion, and that of their recent ancestors, can be traced back 30,000 to 60,000 years with the arrival of the first groups of people from northeast Asia. The religion of Native Americans has developed from the hunting taboos, animal ceremonialism, beliefs in spirits, and shamanism embraced by those early ancestors (Hultkrantz, 3, 12). Since these peoples settled in America slowly and in small groups over several thousand years, we still lack precise immigration knowledge. Beyond the directly inherited traditional Native American religions, a wide body of modified sects abounds. The Native American Church claims a membership of 250,000, which would constitute the largest of the Native America religious organizations. Though the church traces the sacramental use of the peyote cactus back ten thousand years, the Native American Church was only founded in 1918. Well into the reservation era, this organization was achieved with the help of a Smithsonian Institute anthropologist. The church incorporates generic Native American religious rites, Christianity, and the use of the peyote plant. The modern peyote ritual is comprised of four parts: praying, singing, eating peyote, and quietly contemplating (Smith, 167-173; Anderson, 41).

   Extractions: The use of peyote in some Native American religious ceremonies is one of the most controversial issues in America today. It plagues lawmakers, clogs the justice system, gets innocent people treated like criminals, sends almost every preacher into a tangent on evil and idolatry, and pops up in any conversation relating to Native American spirituality. Yet, for most of America, this is an unknown substance that we know zilch about. Peyote Religion is the answer for this ignorance of the subject. The hefty, 454-page manuscript covers every aspect of the peyote religion, old and new. Peyote, Lophophora williamsii , is a spineless cactus-type plant possessing psychedelic properties that is native to southwestern Texas and northern Mexico. It is not habit forming and produces no harm when used in the moderation of Native American ceremonies. Indigenous peoples have been using peyote for medicinal and spiritual purposes for centuries. Archeologists found large deposits of dried peyote in Texas caves that date from 810 to 1070, yet they know the use predates those deposits by several centuries. All was well until the first non-natives arrived on the scene. The Spanish missionaries were the first to try to stop the natives from using peyote. The Anglos followed on their heels. Over the years of civilization in America, the use and even possession of peyote has been a source of controversy and trouble all across the western half of the country, with states having differing laws and often being in direct violation of the federal laws.

   Extractions: 4 December 1998 Mr. Chairman, I would like to raise some points with regard to articles 12 and 13 by referring to a particular case in point. The following example will underline some of the basic principles behind these articles and why we require them to be recognized. For example, the continuing construction and existence of telescopes on Mt. Graham in Arizona, USA, is interfering with the practice of the religion of the San Carlos Apache and other Apache peoples. This is the consensus of Apache spiritual leaders and non-Indian experts as well. The project was found to be illegal twice in other court cases but the US Congress each time passed specific provisions of law exempting only that project on this Holy Mountain from the general laws that could have protected Apache peoples interests using procedures that violated even standard Congressional rules against authorizing in an appropriations bill. Those exemptions are by definition an exercise in discrimination against those who value the Mountain in its natural state. Furthermore, a portion of the summit is now completely off limits to any but the U. of Arizona which can arrest anyone who goes on that part of the Mountain. This is a move that deprives us of our former right to conduct our rites and ceremonies or to pray wherever we need to on the Mountain's high places.

In the 17th cent., they lived in what is now New Jersey, Delaware, E Pennsylvania, and SE New York. They called themselves the Lenni-Lenape or the Lenape and were given the name Delaware by the settlers because they lived in the vicinity of the Delaware River. The Delaware evolved into a loose confederacy of three major divisions: the Munsee (wolf), the Unalachtigo (turkey), and the Unami (turtle). They occupied the territory from which most of the Algonquian tribes had originated and were accorded the respectful title of grandfather by these tribes. They traded with the Dutch early in the 17th cent., sold much of their land, and began moving inland to the Susquehanna valley. In 1682 they made a treaty of friendship with William Penn, which he did his best to honor. In 1720 the Delaware fell victim to Iroquois attack and were forced to move into what is now Ohio. The western Delaware sided with the French in the last of the

White buffalos are rare, but this one is unique because, as prophesied, the white buffalo has changed its colors since birth, going from white to black to red to yellow and back to white. Since each color represents one of the four directionsnorth being white, black representing west, red symbolizing south, and yellow depicting eastthis buffalo has great symbolic significance to Native American tribes, who respond to it as a Christian would respond to the second coming of Christ. It signifies a time of profound change upon the planet and a new level of responsibility for mankind. One Native visionary interpreted the birth of the white buffalo calf to mean that the four energiesthe black, white, yellow, and redwill realize that there is only one race, the human race, and join together in peace. Never before has the world been in such dire need of these understandings. As the twenty-first century approaches, our natural resources dwindle, and diseases brought on by technology rise. Many are beginning to realize that another way of life is essential for survival and well-being on a personal and global level. As one Lakota medicine man, George Amiotte, notes, "The general population are starting to wake up to that fact that we, as human beings, have a responsibility, not only to our own societies, but also to the earth."

    Extractions: STEREOTYPE August 8, 1997 My people, Native American Indians, have among the non-Indian American people, almost as many stereotypes as we have tribes: the stoic, the drunk, the savage, the noble red man, the meek "squaw", the proud princess, the pathetic Indian; all of these types drawn against the image of a nickel Indian profile or dreamworld valiant Pocahontas. We suffer from being asked stereotypical questions also: Are you a real Indian? How do you say something in Indian? Why can't you Indians get together and unite? Can you do the Indian dance? These stereotypes imply that we Native American Indian people are all one and the same. We are not. The American non-Indian's failure to recognize the distinctness of one tribal Nation from another has resulted in a tremendous cultural loss to the United States. Such a monumental oversight might be excused by the fact that the Europeans who first invaded these shores could not understand each other. The Norwegians, Italians, Spanish, Dutch, French, and English presumably could not compare among themselves their experiences with the newly "discovered" native. Had they done so, they might have perceived that there were national cultural differences among the native people, similar to what they themselves experienced. Through the ensuing centuries to the present moment, however, ignorance seems the only explanation for why the descendants of those early Caucasians were still unaware of the diversity of American Indian tribal cultures. This national blindness has not only distorted American History, it has created a situation which diminishes the impact of the one universal quality that did indeed apply to all of America's indigenous peoples.
