Native American religions

This text provides a sensitive and comprehensive overview of Native American traditions.

Using a descriptive approach, Christopher Jocks covers the reformulation of traditional thought and practice in contemporary Native American communities.

This text studies the impact of the Native American traditions of embodiment and expression of intimate relationships with cosmology, ecology, human perception, economy and social structure.

Jock then demonstrates how these factors challenge us to expand our notions of what religion is.

Assuming no prior knowledge on the part of the reader, this book gives a basic introduction to the faith, its history, beliefs, and practices, and emphasising modern developments and impacts of the world in 2001.
