This was a little chopped up however the
transcript was a good attempt at trying to understand our people so I am
willing to give it a +10 out of 10 for trying.
The quote
by Sachem Walking Fox is
characteristic of many indigenous peoples of North America, and many will deny
that their people have a religion.
Native American Spirituality
“The religion of the Indian is the last
thing about him that the man of another race will ever understand.”
Pequot/Mohegan; Spirituality is not
religion to American Natives.
Religion is not a Native concept; it is a
non Native word, with implications of things that often end badly, like Holy
wars in the name of individuals God.
Native people do not ask what religion
another Native is, because they already know the answer.
To Native people, spirituality is about
the Creator, period
