The Study of Indigenous Religions in North America
This chapter considers the limits and possibilities of thinking with the words religion, spirituality, Indigeneity, and North America within the anthropology of Indigenous religions in North America. The chapter considers how the colonial roots of anthropology and more recent decolonial methods shape how scholars recognize and theorize religion in their scholarship. Throughout the chapter we emphasize the collaborative nature of knowledge product…
‘They went to get the Bear’: An Iiyiyiu Politics of Recognition
State- driven recognition and reconciliation frameworks have been a subject of critique among Indigenous studies scholars and activists alike who argue they continue to fail to address Indigenous Peoples on a Nation- to- Nation basis and neglect questions of land. Recognition, although often theorized solely as a political project controlled by the nation state, is also a spiritual process of coming to know oneself and others in relation to land.…

Religion, Animals, and Indigenous Traditions
This article examines how the field of Indigenous studies can contribute to expanding the way religious studies scholars think through the question of the animal. It suggests that Indigenous intellectual traditions, which often position animals as persons, relatives, knowledge holders, and treaty makers, prompt further reflection on the fundamental questions of what it means to be a human animal and member of a pluralistic cosmology of beings. Th…
Walking the Law throughout the Journey of Nishiyuu
Indigenous journeys are powerful exercises of law and governance. Presently, these journeys have also become a popular means for revitalizing culture and contesting continued colonialism. The Journey of Nishiyuu was a mass social movement in which a group of Uschiniichisuu, Cree youth, travelled a collective 1600 km by foot from their homes in Whapmagoostui, Québec to Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Ontario in order to address a variety of social and …
Indigenous Knowledge and Contested Spirituality in Canadian Nuclear Waste Management
Indigenous spirituality is often deployed in grassroots environmental movements as a strategy to revitalize cultures and contest a hegemonic worldview that continues to marginalize Indigenous Peoples. From this perspective, Indigenous spirituality serves as an epistemological foil that these social movements utilize to critique prevailing capitalist values, environmental degradation, and neo-colonialism. Indigenous spiritual knowledge is also bei…
