A Cherokee Way of Knowing: Can Native American Spirituality Impact Religious Education.
Smith, W. Alan
Religious Education, v90 n2 p241-53 Spr 1995

American Indian spirituality stresses direct experience of the holy, and unity between man and the spiritual world. Considers how the two might be incorporated into religious education. (MJP)
