Abstract

While contemporary society has been established on a foundation of human-made institutions and structures, most Indigenous cultures recognize the interconnectedness of nature and humankind, and that we cannot live and survive outside of nature. Indigenous spirituality is often characterized by a holistic, comprehensive way of living. Although spiritual beliefs vary among the millions of Indigenous cultures, commonalities exist between many of the dominant Indigenous cultures. Common Indigenous cultures and their respective spiritual beliefs and practices will be explored within the context of the role of spirituality in individual and collective success. The similarities and differences of these Indigenous cultures will be examined to develop a better understanding of their role and importance in achieving spirituality. The absence of a spiritual-secular binary in Indigenous cultures will add an important perspective to the discussion about spirituality.
