American Indian Religious Traditions: An Encyclopedia (ABC-CLIO, 2005)
Co-edited with Dennis Kelley, this collection is comprised of over 200 entries, written by more than 100 authors. The three-volumes provide a sense of the contemporary field of Native American religious studies as a discipline that places Native religions within their historical, cultural, and social context. Entries include pieces on missionization, the impact of the reservation system, the American Indian Movement (AIM), whaling, hunting, and repatriation, as well as more classic categories such as ceremony and ritual, oral traditions, and spiritual leadership.
