Native American Sacred Sites

Native American sacred sites are locations holding spiritual, cultural, and historical significance for Indigenous tribes. These sites may include mountains, rivers, caves, or specific landscapes that tribes consider sacred or connect to their heritage, ceremonies, and traditions. Preserving these sites is vital for respecting Indigenous identities and religious practices. Often, they face threats from development or land use changes. Understanding and honoring these sacred sites promotes cultural respect, environmental conservation, and supports Native communities’ rights to protect their spiritual heritage.
