          American Indian Religious Sites

Native American Spirituality
Native American Spirituality
This Native American section of the Ontario Consultants on Religious Tolerance homepage is a good starting point of reference. In a short space, the page defines key concepts and explains general trends.

First Nations
This is an expansive site on and by Native Americans. It is a valuable visit for many reasons including bibliographies of Native American Nations (a work in progress). Spirituality is notemphasized per se, but an essay by Myke Johnson entitled "When Spiritual Teaching Turns Into Cultural Theft" is an insightful read.

Index of Native American Resources on the Internet
This is essentially a page of links, but it is an extraordinarily valuable resource. Hundreds of links are organized for reasonable access to materials. The site, developed and maintained by Karen M. Strom does not have a special category on "spirituality" or "religion." Look for these materials under "culture" and "history."

Native Web.org
This is a large web site providing many kinds of resources for indigenous cultures around the world. From the navigation bar on the front page, click on "search this site" and enter either spirituality or for access to lots of resources. http://www.nativeweb.org/

Native Religions in Newfoundland and Labrador
Barely beyond our geographic interest, Atlantic Canada has a rich history of Native American religions which are explicated on this page.
