Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
YA-- A welcome addition to any reference section. With over 1,200 entries, this treatment of Native American beliefs, ceremonies, and major religious systems is in-depth, yet easy to read. From the opening explanation of Abishabis ("Small Eyes"), the principal prophet of a mid-1800s religious movement, to Zuni Salt Lake, New Mexico, the reputed home of a Holy Person who traveled around the country leaving deposits of salt wherever she rested, the authors provide quick information on sacred objects, societies, leaders, and more. The black-and-white photographs and charts, while few, are a nice addition. The bibliography is extensive.

From Library Journal
The scope of this new encyclopedia is certainly no more than introductory. For example, only ten lines are devoted to "power concepts," even though individuals from other religious traditions may find the Native American concept of supernatural power difficult to understand. Still, this is the first ready - reference tool dedicated entirely to Native American religions. Other reference works such as The Handbook of American Indians (1907. o.p.), The Encyclopedia of Religion ( LJ 8/87), or the Smithsonian's "Handbook of North American Indians" series (1978-present) provide comparable or more authoritative coverage of selected topics. None of these sources, however, focus strictly on Native American religions and, for this reason, librarians and readers should turn first to this new encyclopedia for basic information about Native American sacred beliefs and practices. Coverage ranges from major religious sites to specific rites and includes biographies of religious leaders and Christian missionaries. Considering the need for understanding and acceptance of cultural diversity, most school, public, and academic libraries should strongly consider purchasing this encyclopedia.
