Download or read book Religious Freedom and Indian Rights written by Carolyn Nestor Long and published by Landmark Law Cases and American Society. This book was released on 2000 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Supreme Court's controversial decision in Oregon v. Smith sharply departed from previous expansive readings of the First Amendment's religious freedom clause and ignited a firestorm of protest from legal scholars, religious groups, legislators, and Native Americans. A major event in Native American history, the case attracted widespread support for the Indian cause from a diverse array of religious groups eager to protect their own religious freedom and led to an intense tug-of-war between the Court and Congress. Carolyn Long provides the first book-length analysis of Smith and shows shy it continues to resonate so deeply in the American psyche."--Back cover.

Download or read book The Peyote Cult written by Weston La Barre and published by . This book was released on 1969 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is the classical study of the background of the Mexican and American Indian ritual based on the plant that produces profound but temporary sensory and psychic derangements. Acid-heads and mind-blowing cultists will find much thought-food in this careful anthropological work, and in the author's new preface, with its penetrating appraisal of the use of artificial psychedelic drugs as instruments of revolt... The study started when the author was twenty-four; he participated in the rites of fifteen tribes using Lophophora williamsii (Lemaire), a small, spineless, carrot-shaped cactus growing in the Rio Grande Valley and southward. The original study has been supplemented by two essays that bring the account up to 1964, including a report of the Timothy Leary-Richard Alpert "débacle" at Harvard in 1963."-- Back cover.

Download or read book Many Heavens One Earth written by Clifford Chalmers Cain and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Heavens, One Earth is a collection of first-person voices from nine of the world religions. In fifteen articles, devotees and scholars reveal the contributions these traditions make to informing and motivating an ecological response to the environmental issues that beset planet earth. The spiritual messages of world religions have an indispensable and decisive role to play in addressing these environmental problems, for, at their root, these ecological issues are spiritual problems: Unless greed is replaced by moderation and sharing, materialism by spiritual insights and values, consumerism by restraint and simpler living, exploitation by respect and service, and pollution by caring and protection, nature’s hospitality will be foolishly rebuffed, and therefore our descendants will inherit a polluted and depleted earth. Religion can be, and must be, a part of this replacement. Since at least 90% of the world’s people claim allegiance to various major world religious traditions, religion can exert a crucial and transforming influence.
