Indigenous traditions don't get involved in proselytizing because they don't assume that other people should be part of their religious tradition. Another thing I found was that, because these traditions were not universal, were based on oral tradition and not the written word, they were much more metaphorical and theologically more flexible. But they're different parts of my reality. I can dance around a bonfire at night, and then the next day, I can go to work as a computer programmer. It's a more metaphoric than literal notion of reality, very different from religons that are tied to scripture.
Any mystic knows that.
Take Teresa of Avila. She knew that when you wash the dishes, that is part of a spiritual experience. At least cognitively. Of course, it's important because I wouldn't want to be a non-Christian in a Christian nation, so maybe we have to do it politically. The same goes for the idea that humor and religion don't mix.
