Native Americans and Canadians are largely romanticised or
sidelined figures in modern society. Their spirituality has been
appropriated on a relatively large scale by Europeans and
non-Native Americans, with little concern for the diversity of
Native American opinions. Suzanne Owen offers an insight into
appropriation that will bring a new understanding and perspective
to these debates. This important volume collects together these key
debates from the last 25 years and sets them in context, analyses
Native American objections to appropriations of their spirituality
and examines 'New Age' practices based on Native American
spirituality. The Appropriation of Native American Spirituality
includes the findings of fieldwork among the Mi'Kmaq of
Newfoundland on the sharing of ceremonies between Native Americans
and First Nations, which highlights an aspect of the debate that
has been under-researched in both anthropology and religious
studies: that Native American discourses about the breaking of
'protocols', rules on the participation and performance of
ceremonies, is at the heart of objections to the appropriation of
Native American spirituality.
