DOI: 10.1558/equinox.43174

Blurb:

To answer this question I will set up a framework for conceptualizing Native American religious traditions that emphasizes the importance of and interconnection between Place, Sacred Narratives, Communities, Ceremony, Relationships, and Responsibility. I will then discuss how foodways are an integral part of this framework supporting interconnectivity. I will discuss shared characteristics while emphasizing the diversity of specific traditions and foodways.
