Question

please discuss how indigenous religions become the basis for other faith traditions. Give at least two specific examples of indigenous religions that were nuanced into different belief systems and give an indication of the changes that were made.

Answer 1

Most such religions have strong ecological beliefs as people try to live in harmony with the natural order. Indigenous religions rarely have written sacred texts. Rather, their beliefs focus on dances, costumes, masks, ritual traditions, and sacred artifacts (material objects).Indigenous religions are the ancestral religions of peoples who are native to particular landscapes. Their religions help them achieve the goal of living successfully in those places. Thus, indigenous religions vary, just as the places their practitioners inhabit vary.
