These topics include climate change, water rights, the protection of sacred places, the reclaiming of Indigenous foods, health and wellness, social justice, and the safety of Indigenous women and girls. Locating such contemporary challenges within their historical, religious, and cultural contexts illuminates how Native communities' responses to such issues are not simply political, but deeply spiritual, informed by sacred traditions, ethical principles, and profound truths. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn collaboration with renowned ethnographer and scholar of Native American religious traditions In駸 Talamantez, Suzanne Crawford O'Brien abandons classical categories typically found in religious studies textbooks and challenges essentialist notions of Native American cultures to explore the complexities of Native North American life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKey features of this text include: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsideration of Indigenous religious traditions within their historical, political, and cultural contexts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThematic organization emphasizing the concerns and commitments of contemporary tribal communities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaps and images that help to locate tribal communities and illustrate key themes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommendations for further reading and research\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten in an engaging narrative style, this book makes an ideal text for undergraduate courses in Native American Religions, Religion and Ecology, Indigenous Religions, and World Religions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Suzanne Crawford O'Brien\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1538104741\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781538104743\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/10\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Suzanne Crawford O'Brien","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43991398678783,"sku":"9781538104743","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d075db7c-24f0-496a-8163-c9f2ffd76e36.jpg?v=1683310060","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/religion-and-culture-in-native-suzanne-crawford-obrien-9781538104743","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
