- Description:
- The document introduces a Joint Congressional Resolution to protect religious freedom for traditional American Indian religions, including Eskimo, Aleut, and Native Hawaiian religions. It discusses how lack of government policy has led to infringement on the religious rights of American Indians, particularly in terms of access to sacred sites and restrictions on the use of sacred objects. The document calls for a better understanding and awareness of the impact of laws and regulations on Indian religious practices.
