Characteristic Features The indigenous peoples of North America perceived themselves as living in a cosmos pervaded by powerful, mysterious spiritual beings and forces that underlay and supported human life. Native Americans believed that in order to survive as individuals and communities, it was necessary to acknowledge these spiritual powers in every aspect of their lives—by addressing the powers in prayer and song, offering them gifts, establishing ritual relationships with them, and passing down knowledge about them to subsequent generations, primarily through myths.

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.

Connect to the project's three other companion pages for lots more ideas and information: (1) Biographies of Native Americans - A to Z Native American Tribes and Cultures , and (3) Easier - Native Americans, sometimes called American Indians, are descendants of the first people to live in the Americas. They had been living there for thousands of years before any Europeans arrived. Harder - When Columbus landed in what is now known as the West Indies, he incorrectly thought he had reached the Indies. He called the native people he met Indians. The Indians of the Americas spoke hundreds of different languages, had many varied ways of life, and each group had its own name. Some lived in large cities and others in small villages. Still others kept moving throughout the year, hunting animals and gathering wild plants. First Americans by K. Martin (Grades 4-8)

Studying Indigenous Religions Overview of Key Elements 6 CEREMONIES AND RITUALS Many traditional cultures use ceremonies and ritual to link together the human world, natural world, and the spiritual world. There are an extreme number of different ceremonies and rituals practiced throughout the Native American tribes, and here are a few examples of the most common. Dance, Drum and Song Many Native American traditions use drum, dance, and song to connect them with the spirit world. The drum is generally used to form a connection to the spirit world The drum is so significant that even some cultures base their religion on it. The Eskimo, for example, practice the ‘drum religion,’ in which the Eskimo shaman will drum continuously until the spirits possess him and speak through him. Songs or chants are often used to express appreciation and thanks for what has been given to the humans for survival. Versluis describes songs as, “Simple on the surface...nonetheless part of a liturgical cycle of great complexity and intricate symbolism that reveals humanity completely interlinked with nature, the sky, and the spirits.” (See p. 44) In Native American traditions, there are many types of dances, but all seem to share common themes.

Indigenous Peoples' Literature The Aztecs/Mexicas Fearless warriors and pragmatic builders, the Aztecs created an empire during the 15th century that was surpassed in size in the Americas only by that of the Incas in Peru. As early texts and modern archaeology continue to reveal, beyond their conquests and many of their religious practices, there were many positive achievements: the formation of a highly specialized and stratified society and an imperial administration the expansion of a trading network as well as a tribute system the development and maintenance of a sophisticated agricultural economy, carefully adjusted to the land and the cultivation of an intellectual and religious outlook that held society to be an integral part of the cosmos. The yearly round of rites and ceremonies in the cities of Tenochtitlan and neighboring Tetzcoco, and their symbolic art and architecture, gave expression to an ancient awareness of the interdependence of nature and humanity. The Aztecs remain the most extensively documented of all Amerindian civilizations at the time of European contact in the 16th century. Spanish friars, soldiers, and historians and scholars of Indian or mixed descent left invaluable records of all aspects of life. These ethnohistoric sources, linked to modern archaeological inquiries and studies of ethnologists, linguists, historians, and art historians, portray the formation and flourishing of a complex imperial state.

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations Reader's Companion to U.S. Women's History Native American Religions Native American religions have been a major conundrum both historically and contemporarily for both Natives and non-Natives. For the former, it is an ongoing reality; for the latter, it is derision, or a searching, as in the New Age movement toward indigenous beliefs. The term religion has been used to describe the varied belief systems of North American aboriginal peoples, but this term reflects a concept superimposed by European conquerors. The core values and sentiments are often expressed in Native terms such as wakan (Lakota), meaning a universal force or power. The English term gloss , or spirituality, may be a more functional means for examining the complexities of Native epistemologies. European concepts of gods, hierarchical arrangements of spirits, and codified systems of reward and punishment such as heaven and hell are not categories that encompass the integrated whole of Native beliefs. Moreover, the emphasis upon medicine men, shaman, and male ceremonial leaders has served to obscure the dyadic relationships between males and females in the maintenance of spiritual well-being and in the performance of rituals that provide harmony and equilibrium within the larger social group. Women were part of the natural and supernatural world, as were men and children. Most beliefs and rituals fostered proper transitions from childhood to adulthood, and the rites of passage—birth, puberty, marriage, and death—were regulated by appropriate ceremonies to allow for personal development and a smoothly functioning social system.

The Access Fund A Brief History of The Access Fund Board of Directors Position Statements ... Staff Contacts The Sacred and the Profane Should climbers Just Say No to climbing at "sacred sites"? By Sam Davidson, Access Fund Executive Director Climbers are presently in a sort of Catch-22, a no-win situation where even our best and most compassionate efforts are causing our reputation to suffer. I refer to the rising incidence of conflict between climbers and Native Americans over "sacred sites." This issue isn't new. Climbing has been illegal for decades on such formations as the Totem Pole and Spider Rock (on the Navajo reservation), and perhaps to our collective discredit, we have climbed these formations anyway, savoring the experience the more because we were sampling forbidden fruit. Native Americans who live by "traditional ways" increasingly feel climbing desecrates their religious beliefs, and disrupts their religious ceremonies. Climbers are asked, How would you feel if we climbed on your churches while you were praying on Sunday mornings? This question is easy to answer, especially since many climbers, in their own way, consider our boulders, crags and mountains holy places, and we certainly have acted to preserve the qualities that make them special for us.

Many people are searching for a deeper spiritual engagement with the world, and feel a hunger unmet by the teachings and services of traditional religious institutions. Westerners have begun to take an interest in Native American or other indigenous spiritual practices - one can easily find books, workshops and lectures offering rituals and ceremonies to non-native people in USA, Canada, Europe or Australia. However, many indigenous people, including highly respected religious elders, have condemned such "borrowing." They identify it as a form of cultural exploitation, gravely detrimental to the survival and well-being of indigenous people. European-Americans have stolen Native lands, Native resources, Native children, Native cultural images, and more recently Native profits. Now, they are are taking Native spirituality, too. All of these thefts constitute violations of Native sovereignty - the inherent right of indigenous nations to govern themselves, and keep the lands, cultures, and economies that belong to them.

She noted that she knew that the film was going to be a horror film after seeing that all of the movie promos for upcoming films included mostly horror movies due out this fall. One of the trailers we discussed was the advertisement for the picture "Dreamcatcher" a new movie based on the novel by Stephen King and directed by Lawrence Kasdan. Dreamcatcher is the story of "four young friends who perform a heroic act ‹ and are changed forever by the uncanny powers they gain in return. Years later the friends, now men, are on a hunting trip in the Maine woods when they are overtaken by a blizzard, a vicious storm in which something much more ominous moves ..." ( dreamcatchermovie.warnerbros.com/" The Dreamcatcher trailer begins with cuts between a bird's eye view of a single car traveling along a road in a winter forest and a extreme close-up of a "dream catcher" while the voiceover announces the premise of the film: "There are those who believe your dreams have great power and to remain safe you must sleep underneath a dream catcher.

(London: Gaia Books Ltd, 1990. Some of what follows was written by representatives of indigenous peoples; some was provided by non-indigenous people. Julian Burger explains that there is no universally agreed name for the peoples he describes as first peoples: "... because their ancestors were the original inhabitants of the lands, since colonized by foreigners. Many territories continue to be so invaded. The book also calls them indigenous, a term widely accepted by the peoples themselves, and now adopted by the United Nations."

Persistent Voices by Dr. Dave Warren Early travelers in the Americans described Native Americans in many ways: savage, noble, a vanishing race, and a part of nature, just like the wilderness, that had to be tamed and conquered. Because of efforts to assimilate them or remove them from their lands, native societies developed means by which to retain all that made them unique, and Native Americans never lost their associations with traditions and identity. Because of this, Native Americans never quite fit into the social, political, economic, and cultural patterns of others and even as efforts increased to bring Native Americans into mainstream society, they remained on the margin. Persistence of a Native American life way comes from historical and cultural processes. No other people engaged in treaty making with the central government of the country of which they were original inhabitants, indeed "owners." A unique concept of tribal sovereignty, virtual nations within nations, emanated from centuries-long debate over the existing rights and recognition of pre-European forms of self-government. In the 19th century, U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall found that Indians were indeed domestic nations, unique from states, and bound to the federal government in a special way defined by treaties and other official mandates. Native Americans' enduring claim to a difference stems from their will to be a people who differed from all other "minorities" by the constant claim to a separate, not integrated, status within American society. Not surprisingly, this distinction comes from the abiding sense of

TOPIC: Native American Spirituality Editor Donna Ladkin The papers relating to this topic are: Carol Lee Sanchez. Animal, Vegetable, and Mineral. Jack D. Forbes. Indigenous Americans: Spirituality and Ecos Introduction to the Topic There were over one thousand different tribal peoples indigenous to the North American continent when Europeans first arrived in that territory. Each tribe had its own set of festivals, rituals, and spiritual beliefs, therefore to write of 'Native American spirituality' as one entity would be erroneous. However, common features are apparent across tribal peoples, pointing to some of the assumptions which inform the spiritual beliefs and practices of those indigenous to the North American continent . Spirituality played a central role in the lives of many of these peoples, for as Angie Debo writes: he [the Indian] was deeply religious. The familiar shapes of earth, the changing sky, the wild animals he knew, were joined with his own spirit in mystical communion. The powers of nature, the personal quest of the soul, the acts of daily life, the solidarity of the tribeall were religious, and were sustained by dance and ritual. This piece attempts to highlight some of the key aspects which Native American peoples share in terms of their spirituality. There is much that has been written in this area, and the brief list of suggested books I offer may provide a starting point for those wishing to pursue this area further.

Peyote Religion: Spiritual Soul Food by Leo Mercado Historical use Peyote has a long history of use as a medicinal and sacramental herb. Prehistoric trade in and knowledge of the sacred cactus was apparently well established prior to the European conquest of Mexico. At that time, Spanish Inquisitors declared its use to be a punishable crime against God. As in the case of Teonanacatl, the sacred mushrooms of MesoAmerica, the fact that the peyote religion continues to exist despite centuries of persecution is a testament to its importance in the spiritual lives of many. Sacred Cactus Peyote (Lophophora williamsii) is a small (less than 12 cm in diameter), round cactus with fuzzy tufts instead of spines. It rarely rises more than an inch or so above the soil surface. The largest part of the cactus is actually underground in the long, carrot-like root. The above ground portion is the "button" which is cut and consumed either fresh or dried. Myths concerning the presence of strychnine in the flesh or fuzz are often circulated in the common lore, but this substance is completely absent from peyote. Peyote Religion Most formal peyote ceremonies mix drumming, singing, prayer, and stories as a means of offering thanks and as a way of sharing this blessing with the Creator and their fellow communicants. Deeply meaningful and highly personalized inspirational revelation is often a very important part of the individual's experience. Participants in such peyote "meetings" often grow in empathy and in friendship with the people who have shared the peyote night with them. Lifelong associations are made in this way.

America In the early sixteenth century, all of the land in the Western Hemisphere (including North, Central, and South America) was named after the little-known Italian navigator Amerigo Vespucci, who some thought was the first European to visit the continents of the Western Hemisphere. Although many people use the name "America" to mean the United States of America, the U.S.A. is only one of many countries in America. Back to: Top Anglo The first people to live in the Southwest of what is now the United States were members of different Indian cultures. The next group to arrive were Spanish explorers, soldiers, and settlers who came north from Mexico. Later, other explorers, soldiers, and settlers came from the eastern United States. Because most of them spoke English, they were called Anglos (a term that refers to the Anglo-Saxon roots of the English people) by the Hispanic and Indian peoples already there. Even though Caucasian people are not necessarily of English descent, Anglo continues to be used in the area to identify non-Hispanics and non-Indians. Back to: Top Hispanic The historical name for the Iberian peninsula where Spain is located is Hispania. Like many European nations, Spain established colonies on the African, Asian, and American continents. Although they did not live in Spain, many colonists around the globe referred to themselves as "Spanish" to differentiate themselves from indigenous peoples who lived in areas before the colonial conquests.
