Woodland Religion

Woodland religion refers to the spiritual beliefs and practices of Indigenous peoples in the Northeastern woodlands of North America, including groups like the Algonquin and Iroquois. These traditions often emphasize a deep connection to nature, considering all living things as interconnected. Central themes include the veneration of spirits, ancestral respect, and the significance of natural cycles, such as seasons and harvests. Rituals and ceremonies, often involving storytelling, dance, and offerings, play crucial roles in community life and spiritual expression, reflecting their respect for the environment and their cultural heritage.
