Spirit Wars Native North American Religions in the Age of Nation Building
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Univ of California Pr
- Publish date: 07/01/2000
Each chapter deals with a specific dimension of the relationship between native peoples and non-native institutions: missions, formal education, biomedicine, legislative bodies, museums and research institutions, and New Age spiritual literature and organizations. Together these topics yield a new understanding of the forces directed against the underpinnings of native cultures. Not only direct missionary efforts, Niezen makes clear, but other practices intended by the dominant societies to be philanthropic have had a devastating impact on native societies. The chapters are supplemented by brief essays from six other authors, each of whom provides case material -- some of it from a first-person native perspective -- that shows the contemporary relevance for native peoples of the issues being discussed.
