For some strange reason, this week got me thinking a lot about Disney and how it took unique characters like Pochantas and changed the storyline to "Westernize" it. I feel that, in the same nature, indigenous religions were affected so harshly by the rise of Christianity and the traveling of settlers. It is sad to think that even today there are Native Americans fighting the government in order to keep their land safe. I grew up going to this one art class and every single class the teacher would read us a new tale. I used to be so entrapped with the mythology behind every story. It wasn't until I had outgrown the class age limit, that the teacher finally gave me the book she read from. It was then that I learned of these "indigenous religions,"
