This fall Professor Philip P. Arnold will be offering REL/NAT 142 Native American Religions
This class will focus on Mesoamerican (Olmec, Maya, Aztec), Lakota (i.e., Sioux), and Haudenosaunee (i.e., Six Nations Iroquois Confederacy) traditions as described by an historian of religions, a poet, and Native American writers. As the noted historian of religions Huston Smith asks, “Why hasn’t the freedom of religion ever applied to Native American people?”
