Native Lands and Sacred Places
Reclaiming and Protecting Native Lands
From the Series Native Rights (Alternator Books ®)
For Native nations and peoples, land is sacred. It is a valued and respected part of their spiritual and religious beliefs. Some locations hold even more meaning such as burial sites, places for ceremonies, and areas where medicines grow. When Europeans began colonizing the land that would become the United States, Native nations were forced from the lands they lived on. Many nations no longer had access to sacred sites. Discover how Native peoples are reclaiming their ancestral lands with the Land Back movement.
