Indigenous Beliefs

Indigenous beliefs refer to the spiritual and cultural practices of native peoples, closely tied to their ancestral lands and ecosystems. They often emphasize a deep connection to nature, viewing all elements of the environment—plants, animals, and landscapes—as interconnected and sacred. These beliefs shape their worldviews, rituals, and community practices, focusing on harmony, respect, and stewardship of the land. Oral traditions, storytelling, and ceremonies play vital roles in passing down knowledge and cultural identity. Indigenous spirituality may involve animism, ancestor veneration, and the belief in spirits or sacred forces that influence life and the natural world.
