Description: In this work, some contemporary Native scholars and writers examine the issue of Native religious identity today. Because the traditional Native American view recognizes no sharp distinction between sacred and profane spheres. Native cultures and religious traditions are in many ways synonymous and coextensive. It is this intricately intimate relationship between culture and religious tradition that makes the question of religious identity a vital inquiry today.
