 Law->Religion: Protection of Native American sacred places fact sheet

Religion & Spirituality

KEYWORDS: protection of native american sacred places traditional religions Native American religions Civilization Regulations Native American sacred places American Indian Religious Freedom Act of 1978 traditional Native religions American Indian Eskimo Aleut Native Hawaiians Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act Executive Order on Indian Sacred Sites National Historic Preservation Act Archaeological Resources Protection Act National Environmental Protection Act

AUTHOR: Suzan Shown Harjo, Columnist, Indian Country Today

Native American sacred places are where Native Peoples who practice their traditional religions go to pray for the good day, the precious earth, the blessing waters, the sweet air and peaceful life for all living beings the world over.

  • Native American religions were outlawed under the federal "Civilization Regulations" from the 1880s to the 1930s. Traditional Native Peoples were not allowed to go to or pray at their sacred places. All of the traditional religions were driven underground, some to the point of extinction.

 Law->Religion: Feds plan to change name of Native American Church and other regulations

Keywords: peyote use Peyote Native American Church native law peyote ceremonies native american church DEA drug enforcement religious freedom first ammendment fourteenth ammendment 1st ammendment 14th ammendment drug enforcement administration Native Americans American Indians Religious Freedom Act of 1994 AIRFA traditional Indian Religion peyote ceremonials

Author: Wilhelm Murg

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is purposing a change in the language of their regulation regarding peyote use to conform with the American Indians Religious Freedom Act of 1994 (AIRFA). Peyote, which is used by Native Americans in religious practice, is considered a “Schedule 1” drug by the agency, along with heroin, LSD, XTC, marijuana, Quaaludes, and Psilocybin.

In a letter dated December 18, 2001, The DEA’s Deputy Assistant Administrator for the Office of Diversion Control, Laura Nagel, noted that the agency is purposing to “delete all references to the ‘Native American Church’ and to ‘members of the Native American Church’ in the regulation.”

The letter goes on to state that the DEA “would then add language identical to the language used in AIRFA that protects the use of peyote by members of federally recognized tribes for bona fide traditional ceremonial purposes in connection with the practice of traditional Indian Religion.”
