"Native Religions of the Americas" by Åki Hultkrantz

book review by Riley Burnham 4/11/2024

this was pretty good(!)

brief & succinct, we're given a very quick overview of native religions from circumpolar to way south

we hear about shamans, fetishes, taboos; animal ceremonies; gods & religion; stories; sacrifice...

it paints an old, lived-experiential set of beliefs, which range from the celestial objects to a deified Chief

​​​​​​​in all, a similar vein to other works i've read on these subjects 👍
