Teaching with Native American Religions
How can we nurture greater respect, more nuanced understanding, more care-full critical thought, and deeper community engagement in teaching on Native American and Indigenous religious traditions? In this article, we explore ways to incorporate theories and methods from Native American and Indigenous studies into religious studies classrooms. Teaching with Native American religious traditions, rather than just about them, can lead to better under…
Kinship: A Review Essay
In this essay, we look at several recent books on Indigenous kinship and think about the relationship between Indigeneity as political status and Indianness as a racial category. As religious studies scholars, what we find most meaningful in this recent literature is the emphasis of Indigenous relations with Land as an important part of understanding Indigenous kinship. Grounding our review of these books with a reading of the recent Haaland v. B…

Bankruptcy of the Category of Religion: A Decolonizing Approach
This article takes as its point of departure the 2022 Interim Report of the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion or Belief, entitled “Indigenous Peoples and the Right to Freedom of Religion or Belief.” The report recommends “collaborat[ing] with indigenous spiritual leaders and influencers to support conservation efforts and the sustainable development of traditional lands through a human rights-based approach.” We ask what a …

Alfred Kroeber, the Yuroks, and Me: A Letter to My Daughter
I explore my positionality as a non-Indigenous scholar writing about Indigenous peoples in California. As I think about my relationship with the Yurok people I write about, I also think about my relationship with my father, who did not raise me, and about my relationship with my own daughter. Searching for my own voice, as an academic, as a daughter, and as a mother, I wonder about the similarities between the infamous anthropologist Alfred Kroeb…
Decolonization at the Intersection of Political Theology and Settler Colonial Studies
Storytelling and the High Country: Reading Lyng V. Northwest Indian Cemetery Protective Association (1988)
In Lyng v. Northwest Indian Cemetery Protective Association , 485 U.S. 439 (1988), the Supreme Court declared constitutional the Forest Service's development plan in an area of the Six Rivers National Forest (known as the High Country) that is central to the religious practice of the Yurok, Karuk, and Tolowa Nations. The Court admitted that “[i]t is undisputed that the Indian respondents’ beliefs are sincere and that the Government's proposed act…

Paradoxes of Dignity in Israel/Palestine
Is human dignity a useful political concept for us today? Some think it is useful precisely because it can mean whatever one wants it to mean; others think it is useless for that same reason. It is certainly productive to acknowledge its elusiveness. Perhaps we can only understand fully what dignity means at instances when society fails to protect the dignity of its members. Perhaps we only know dignity in the face of indignation. Against the bac…
The Beauty of Charisma Introduction: From Golden Calves to Gold Bling
Moses was not a particularly good speaker. He stuttered; indeed, he needed his brother Aaron to speak for him. Moses did not always obey the law. He murdered an Egyptian taskmaster. He was not always ready to assume responsibility for, and face the consequences of, his deeds. He fled to Midian when the murder became known. Moses refused God's calling at his first encounter with the burning bush, and he continued to doubt God's calling throughout …
