to the Verde Valley . . .
In this area, where Indigenous religious practices are frequently stolen, co-opted, or imitated—often for monetary gain—it can be difficult to find meaningful engagement with the voices and perspectives of Indigenous peoples. This talk will present examples of Indigenous approaches to religion and philosophy from the words and texts of Indigenous peoples themselves, some prominent and some less so.
Today’s music will be provided by Four Shillings Short.
