Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor

Native American religions consist of a set of basic attitudes that relate people to their natural surroundings. Ceremonies that include stories, songs, chants, magic formulas, and prayers are intended to help the faithful focus on the essential yet often ignored things in life, such as the forces of nature, natural resources, and birth and death. In a clear and accessible style, Native American Religions, Updated Edition presents the common traits shared among the diverse Native American tribes, the ceremonies and rituals that are an intrinsic part of the lives of tribe members, the ethical and religious principles that guide believers to living a harmonious and balanced life, and the relationship between Native American religions and Christianity.
