The Land Looks After Us: A History of Native American Religion by Joel W. Martin

4.0

I re-read this book and it was just as good as the first time. I took a Native American religion course in college and this book was our introduction. People complained that the author addressed too many topics in one book, but I think it is a great representation of how Indigenous people are not a monolith, and there are multiple historic religions and practices that should be highlighted in one text. It is comprehensive and does not dilute the destructive history of Christianity, conversion, and genocide. I recommend this book especially in a time of book bans and the falsifying of history which further erases indigenous peoples.
