Delving into Eastern Cherokee spirituality, this comprehensive study by John Loftin and Benjamin Frey examines the mythic origins of Cherokee religious beliefs and practices. It challenges common misconceptions about the homogeneity of Cherokee religion, including views on female menstruation and beliefs in multiple souls and the afterlife. The work is a collaborative effort between academics and Cherokee knowledge holders, positioning it as a significant contribution to the understanding of Cherokee ethos and a future classic in the study of religion.
