Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religious ceremonies were an inseparable part of Aboriginal traditional life, reinforcing social, economic, and political values. However, missionaries and government officials with ethnocentric attitudes of cultural superiority decreed that Native dances and ceremonies were immoral or un-Christian and an impediment to the integration of the Native population into Canadian society. Beginning in 1885, the Department of Indian Affairs implemented a series of amendments to the Canadian Indian Act, designed to eliminate traditional forms of religious expression and customs, such as the Sun Dance, the Midewiwin, the Sweat Lodge, and giveaway ceremonies.However, the amendments were only partially effective. Aboriginal resistance to the laws took many forms; community leaders challenged the legitimacy of the terms and the manner in which the regulations were implemented, and they altered their ceremonies, the times and locations, the practices, in an attempt both to avoid detection and to placate the agents who enforced the law.Katherine Pettipas views the amendments as part of official support for the destruction of indigenous cultural systems. She presents a critical analysis of the administrative policies and considers the effects of government suppression of traditional religious activities on the whole spectrum of Aboriginal life, focussing on the experiences of the Plains Cree from the mid-1880s to 1951, when the regulations pertaining to religious practices were removed from the Act. She shows how the destructive effects of the legislation are still felt in Aboriginal communities today, and offers insight into current issues of Aboriginal spirituality, including access to and use of religious objects held in museum repositories, protection of sacred lands and sites, and the right to indigenous religious practices in prison.

Download or read book Chod Practice Demystified written by Baal Kadmon and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-11-12 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chod means to "Sever". It is a method of cutting through the ego so to speak. In the simplest of terms, it is a practice that allows you to release yourself from the negative effect of ego. When I say negative effects, I mean pretty much anything you may have an attachment to that is causing you pain in your life OR perhaps you are avoiding. Often we are the source of our own pain due to unhealthy or repetitive thoughts that are driving us to lead lives mired in pain. This can display itself as an addiction, a phobia or any other kind of impulsive behavior or thought that is literally driving you crazy. Often these psychological patterns can stem from childhood traumas or more likely the suppression and repression of the shadow side of the self. That part of ourselves that our hidden desires and repressed feelings reside. We often suppress these thoughts because they are either unacceptable or we simply want to deny that they are even there. Often, when suppressed, they cause us to lash out in a variety of ways that destroy our relationships and even ourselves. This, in time, becomes an attachment and we start to define ourselves by these very behaviors. An addict will identify themselves as addict before anything else, a person with certain dysfunctions may completely identify with it to the point that they do not realize that they have become obsessed with it. People use their dysfunction as badges and will base their entire self on these dysfunctions. In this book, we will not only discuss the History of Chod and what it is. We will delve deeper into what the Shadow is and how it can drive our desires and our negative patterns in our lives. We will also discuss how we can identify residual unresolved shadow effects after a Chod practice. I like to call those hidden machinations the "hungry ghosts of the mind". And , of course, we will learn how to use Chod in a way that will make it accessible to all.
