Encyclopedia of Native American Religions: An Introduction (Facts on File Library of American History)

Summary: Encyclopedis of Native American Religions
Review: In a time of considerable misunderstanding, ignorance, and confusion with regard to the historica religions of Native Americans, this book supplies a much-needed resource for information and correction. I teach a course on Native American History and Culture and will use this book a required reading for my students.

It addresses an area of interest to them. The book will help the reader not only understand traditional beliefs and practices but, also, the impact and consequences of contact with Europeans and other groups who were not Native American upon Native American religions.

This book is a must-read for all serious students of Native American History and Culture.
