WEB RESOURCE This site provides an important concept about Native beliefs and practices in America. "Ceremony and rituals have long played a vital and essential role in Native American culture. Often referred to as 'religion,' most Native Americans did not consider their spirituality, ceremonies, and rituals as 'religion,' in the way that Christians do. Rather, their beliefs and practices form a integral and seamless part of their very being." The focus is mythology, rituals and ceremonies, dances, and specific traditions.
