Book excerpt: Excerpt from Myths and Symbols, or Aboriginal Religions in America Now, this is a mere summary, but it shows that there were many different forms of religion and dif ferent systems of mythology, on the continent of North America, and that they all corresponded to the geographical surroundings. The origin Of these religions and the different stages through which they have passed, is another point, but so far as they have been studied, the systems all were closely con formed to the geographical situation. We are not able to trace any of these systems back to a very early period; certainly no such early period as existed in the lands Of the far East, but we do find an adapta tion to the surroundings, which are quite as striking as any that can be traced in other lands.

Download or read book Indigenous Symbols and Practices in the Catholic Church written by Kathleen J. Martin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indigenous Symbols and Practices in the Catholic Church presents views, concepts and perspectives on the relationships among Indigenous Peoples and the Catholic Church, as well as stories, images and art as metaphors for survival in a contemporary world. Few studies present such interdisciplinary interpretations from contributors in multiple disciplines regarding appropriation, spiritual and religious tradition, educational issues in the teaching of art and art history, the effects of government sanctions on traditional practice, or the artistic interpretation of symbols from Indigenous perspectives. Through photographs and visual materials, interviews and data analysis, personal narratives and stories, these chapters explore the experiences of Indigenous Peoples whose lives have been impacted by multiple forces - Christian missionaries, governmental policies, immigration and colonization, education, assimilation and acculturation. Contributors investigate current contexts and complex areas of conflict regarding missionization, appropriation and colonizing practices through asking questions such as, 'What does the use of images mean for resistance, transformation and cultural destruction?' And, 'What new interpretations and perspectives are necessary for Indigenous traditions to survive and flourish in the future?'
Download or read book The Land Looks After Us written by Joel W. Martin and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2001-02-22 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Native Americans practice some of America's most spiritually profound, historically resilient, and ethically demanding religions. Joel Martin draws his narrative from folk stories, rituals, and even landscapes to trace the development of Native American religion from ancient burial mounds, through interactions with European conquerors and missionaries, and on to the modern-day rebirth of ancient rites and beliefs. The book depicts the major cornerstones of American Indian history and religion--the vast movements for pan-Indian renewal, the formation of the Native American Church in 1919, the passage of the Native American Graves and Repatriation Act of 1990, and key political actions involving sacred sites in the 1980s and '90s. Martin explores the close links between religion and Native American culture and history. Legendary chiefs like Osceola and Tecumseh led their tribes in resistance movements against the European invaders, inspired by prophets like the Shawnee Tenskwatawa and the Mohawk Coocoochee. Catharine Brown, herself a convert, founded a school for Cherokee women and converted dozens of her people to Christianity. Their stories, along with those of dozens of other men and women--from noblewarriors to celebrated authors--are masterfully woven into this vivid, wide-ranging survey of Native American history and religion.
