The ceremony was performed in the summer and lasted from two to eight days. Some of the ceremony was secret. Smoking, fasting, and other rites were part of the ceremony. Penance through self-torture was practiced to achieve communion with the forces of the universe. Among some Native Americans, a bison skull was pulled around the lodge by means of a thong and peg inserted through the skin of the participant's chest. Missionaries and the U.S. and Canadian governments prohibited the ceremony.

Colorado's Holistic Journal Complementary Medicine Journeys Into Your Being Bodywork Guides Spiritual Groups ... Art Gallery May/June 2005 Native American religion Trying to talk about Native American religion is about as easy as narrowing down European cuisine. With 532 registered tribes in the continental United States, diversity abounds and specific discussion would take volumes. However, using a broader brush, we can paint a general picture of Native American religion and look at its place and context in modern America. Enter Columbus and the Europeans, and things changed quickly. Though this article is not about the dramatic genocide that took place on the continent, it is important to note that those 15 million Indians were whittled down to a mere 250,000 by the end of the 1800s. This is a key point in understanding their spiritual practices of today, because many of their original beliefs and religious ways were lost with the people who died and the changes on the land. For example, the Lakota, also known as the Sioux, were a nomadic tribe whose spirituality and sustenance was based on the migrating buffalo. The original herd of millions of buffalo that roamed the Great Plains was shot down to 25 animals by the early 1900s; at one point, only 8,000 Lakota remained, most living on reservations removed from their original habitat. These dramatic changes arrested the development and passing on of Native American spiritual practices, and many traditional beliefs were preserved only in story telling and sacred songs.

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Maps ... World Civilizations Encyclopedia of North American Indians Health and Healers The European conquest of the Americas was largely responsible for the deteriorating health status of the descendants of the native peoples. The long-term consequences of the devastating cycles of epidemics, dispossession, displacement, and poverty have still not been adequately measured, but there is no doubt that these historical experiences continue to affect the health of American Indians and Alaska Natives today. While the health status of American Indians and Alaska Natives suffered as a result of European conquest, the nutritional and other resources of the native peoples contributed to the survival of many of the early European settlers in America. Some of these resources, such as the medicinal herbs of some native groups that have become a part of modern medicine, are still used. For example, at least 220 botanical drugs listed in the Pharmacopoeia of the United States and in the National Formulary were discovered and used by Indian tribes in pre-European times. Some of the more well known of these drugs are digitalis, quinine, belladonna, cocaine from coca leaves, curare, and ipecac.

These are or in their original, were often sacred. Those represnt large themes of human existence: where we came from, how we should live, reconcilliation to the tragedies of life, thankfulness There are smaller stories: teaching, humorous, answering "Why?" questions about natural phenomena and behavior. Finally, traditional indigenous peoples had no TV, no books; stories were entertainment, too. TO THOSE WHO TRANSCRIBE NATIVE MYTHS: Our myths appear popular as NuAge web page fillers. Native myths, as opposed to tall tales and little stories for children, are not entertainment. It is important that you cite the source from which you transcribed it, the collector or non-Indian reteller-translator of the myth, and if given, the original teller. And, of course, the tribe. I think Native myths are meaningless removed from cultural context, but if there is any educational value to them, they must be identified with a specific people, time, and place. Some retellers are reliable. Others sanitize and restructure stories, making them worthless as a means to learn about a culture a kind of racism, where retellers believe Native myths (which are often owned by specific individuals or families) are merely primitive raw material for their own literary efforts, often crude and condescending. There are

A film by David Cherniack Productions in association with Global Vision Corporation and Mystic Fire Video www.mysticfire.com INTRODUCTION Fire on the Mountain: A Gathering of Shamans is a documentary about the connection between consciouness and nature, as embodied in the spiritual traditions of Indigenous Peoples, whose ecological metaphors of the sacred are so relevant to the modern world. We shot the project in 1997 at an historic 10-day gathering of shamans from five continents, who travelled to Karma Ling , a Tibetan Buddhist retreat centre in the Val Saint Hugon in Savoy, in the French Alps, to discuss their concerns with H.H. the Dalai Lama and high-level representatives of the world's religions. This documentary embodies the wish of these Indigenous People - all traditional wisdom-keepers, shamans and medicine-women - who requested us to communicate their message to the world. The film was co-executive produced by Michael O'Callaghan , President of Global Vision Corporation in London, and Sheldon Rochlin, President of Mystic Fire Video in New York. It was produced and directed by the award-winning filmmaker

Native American '''Native Americans''' (also Aboriginal Peoples Aboriginal Americans American Indians Amerindians Amerind Indians First Nations First Peoples Alaskan Natives Native Canadians , or Indigenous Peoples of America ) are those Peoples indigenous to the Americas , living there prior to European colonization . This term encompasses a large number of distinct tribes states , and ethnic groups , many of them still enduring as political communities. They generally have a copper-coloured skin, coarse black straight hair, high cheek-bones, black deep-set eyes, and tall erect figure. The terms "Amerindian" and "Indian", both of which are derivatives of "American Indian" (as is " Amerind ", though this term is more popular in linguistic circles), are not necessarily completely synonymous with "Native American". Although all Amerindians are Native Americans, not all Native Americans are Amerindians. "Amerindian" relates to a mega-group of people spanning the Americas that are related in culture and genetics, and are quite distinct from the later arriving Eskimos ( Inuit Yupik , and Aleut Peoples Native to Alaska and arctic Canada ). The latter Eskimo share their cultural and genetic commonality with other arctic Peoples not Native to the American continent, such as those from arctic
