Native American Spirituality
Essay about landbased spirituality, creation mythology and immanence.
http://www.greenspirit.org.uk/resources/NatAmerSpirit.htm

Extractions: TOPIC: Native American Spirituality Editor Donna Ladkin The papers relating to this topic are: Carol Lee Sanchez. Animal, Vegetable, and Mineral. Jack D. Forbes. Indigenous Americans: Spirituality and Ecos Introduction to the Topic There were over one thousand different tribal peoples indigenous to the North American continent when Europeans first arrived in that territory. Each tribe had its own set of festivals, rituals, and spiritual beliefs, therefore to write of 'Native American spirituality' as one entity would be erroneous. However, common features are apparent across tribal peoples, pointing to some of the assumptions which inform the spiritual beliefs and practices of those indigenous to the North American continent . Spirituality played a central role in the lives of many of these peoples, for as Angie Debo writes: he [the Indian] was deeply religious. The familiar shapes of earth, the changing sky, the wild animals he knew, were joined with his own spirit in mystical communion. The powers of nature, the personal quest of the soul, the acts of daily life, the solidarity of the tribeall were religious, and were sustained by dance and ritual. This piece attempts to highlight some of the key aspects which Native American peoples share in terms of their spirituality. There is much that has been written in this area, and the brief list of suggested books I offer may provide a starting point for those wishing to pursue this area further.

Extractions: Sign Guestbook View Guestbook WELCOME! For nearly three decades I've been on an quest for the answers to three questions central to the meaning of being queer: who are we? where did we come from? what are we for? My answers to these questions are in the books and articles I have written, as well as the many slide-lectures I've given around the country. I hope to use this website as well to share what I've learned on this odyssey. Here you'll find information about my publications, along with excerpts and some samples of recent work-in-progress. There's background on the Native American two-spirit tradition and its parallels around the world, queer mythology, lesbian/gay culture and history, and Applied Meditation. I will be updating this site on a regular basis, so visit me often! Let me know what you'd like to see here. You can leave comments in my guest book or e-mail me.

My Favorite Links Prejudice still abounds in this day and age. In American history, it was the Native American who took the worst blow. Here is a peaceful people who saved the pilgrims from starvation by feeding them and showing them how to farm and identify edible plants. Less than a century later, how were they thanked for life? By slaughter, and then telling them where they could and could not live, what they could and could not do. I heard a comedian once say, during his routine, "Yeah, just shoot them Indians! They were trespassing on our land before we ever got here." Savages they were called. Why? Because they fought to protect Mother Earth and their homes? Just as anyone else would protect their home. And the Native American was called uncivilized and savage! Their beliefs were merely different than the pilgrims and those who followed them to this land.

Extractions: Publisher: University of Massachusetts Press THE UNITED STATES emerged from World War II with a new sense of identity and purpose. The Depression was over. We had won a major victory in a two front world war. A new international community was forming which had resulted in the United Nations. It would meet on American soil and make New York City the virtual capital of the new world order. The various (white) immigrant groups that had come to this country over the previous 100 years had successfully assimilated into the American "Melting Pot" and proven their loyalty to this country during the war. The "new" Americans had joined together with the "WASP" establishment in creating the world's greatest Super Power. After defeating Fascism on two oceans, the American people assumed responsibility for rebuilding postwar Europe and Asia while opposing the global threat of Communism. In the post war period, Catholics looked for heroes who were both American and Catholic. They needed them to establish their own identity and to prove to the suspicious elements in American society that they too were true Americans who were fully in line with American values (and interests) overseas.
Sacred Texts: Native American
Public domain of etexts about Native american religion. Focus on reliable and detailed information about actual practices and mythology.
http://www.sacred-texts.com/nam/index.htm

Extractions: A long-standing problem with this section (and several others at this site relating to traditional peoples' spiritual beliefs) has been the lack of authoritative information. We are in the process of expanding this section by scanning public domain ethnographic accounts on specific Native American religious and spiritual practices. We are fortunate that there is a wealth of such material available, which makes it so much more puzzling why more of it is not on the Internet yet. The study of Native Americans by anthroplogists has had its share of bad science and ethical problems. However, the texts we are in the process of scanning were written by 19th and 20th Century ethnographers who were known for their careful and respectful approach to the people they studied. These were scholars who lived for years with the people they studied, and obtained permission to transcribe their oral sacred literature. These texts cover a wide range of Native Americans or don't fit into one of the categories above.

http://www.livingmyths.com/Native.htm

Extractions: An aspect of this outlook is the major role played in the stories by animals, who often speak to humans and assist them. Most tribes thought of individual members of a species as expressions of the spiritual archetype of that species, which in turn embodied a particular spirit power. Another key feature of the Native American spiritual outlook is found in the powers ascribed to the Four Directions, which occur either literally or in symbolic form throughout the stories. These are often represented by particular colours, or by animals. The Four Directions have to be in balance for all to be well with the world, and often a central point of balance is identified as a fifth direction; for example, four brothers represent the outer directions, and their sister the centre. Lakota dancer This is a central myth of the Plains tribes, especially the Lakota, or Sioux. It tells how the Lakota first received their sacred pipe and the ceremony in which to use it. It has often been related, for example by Black Elk, Lame Deer and Looks for Buffalo.
