Discuss the foundation of the American Indian Religious Freedom Act. What are the major criticism of the Act? According to Susan Harjo , how is the act applied and how is it working after all these years. Support your answer with examples from other reading and video material from this section. Reading: The American Indian Religious Freedom Act (commonly abbreviated to AIRFA) is a US federal law and a joint resolution of Congress that was passed in 1978. It was created to protect and preserve the traditional religious rights and cultural practices of American Indians, Eskimos, Aleuts and Native Hawaiians. These rights include, but are not limited to, access of sacred sites , repatriation of sacred objects held in museums , freedom to worship through ceremonial and traditional rites, including within prisons, and use and possession of objects considered sacred . The Act required policies of all governmental agencies to eliminate interference with the free exercise of Native religion , based on the First Amendment, and to accommodate access to and use of religious sites to the extent that the use is practicable and is not inconsistent with an agency's essential functions. It also acknowledged the prior violation of that right.

Whereas the freedom of religion for all people is an inherent right, fundamental to the democratic structure of the United States and is guaranteed by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution; Whereas the United States has traditionally rejected the concept of a government denying individuals the right to practice their religion, and as a result, has benefited from a rich variety of religious heritages in this country; Whereas the religious practices of the American Indian (as well as Native Alaskan and Hawaiian) are an integral part of their culture, tradition, and heritage, such practices forming the basis of Indian identity and value systems; Whereas the traditional American Indian religions as an integral part of Indian life, are indispensable and irreplaceable; Whereas the lack of a clear, comprehensive, and consistent Federal policy has often resulted in the abridgment of religious freedom for traditional American Indians; Whereas such religious infringements result from the lack of knowledge of the insensitive and inflexible enforcement of Federal policies and regulations premised on a variety of laws; Whereas such laws were designed for such worthwhile purposes as conservation and preservation of natural species and resources but were never intended to relate to Indian religious practices and, there, were passed without consideration of their effect on traditional American Indian religions; Whereas such laws and policies often deny American Indians access to sacred sites r.

Habits of Our Government - The United States Stance on Federal Acknowledgment...
The document discusses the United States federal acknowledgment process for Native American tribes. It provides background on the process and its importance for distributing resources and recognizing tribal sovereignty. Specifically, it examines the case of the United Houma Nation, a tribe from Louisiana that was denied federal acknowledgment in 1994 but continues appealing for recognition. Federal acknowledgment would provide the tribe economic benefits from tax exemptions, services, and ability to exercise treaty rights. The document analyzes issues with the acknowledgment criteria and process.
Religious Privileges in America
This document provides an overview of religious privileges in the United States based on an analysis of case law and legislation. It finds that the federal government and states create both religious privileges and inequalities through their powers. For example, the federal government exempts religious groups from taxes and incorporates religious protections into law, while states vary in property tax exemptions for churches. Federalism also allows for variation in practices like polygamy. Some civil rights are restricted for religious reasons, such as discrimination in employment or public offices requiring religious tests. Native American religious practices are also less protected without federal recognition of tribes. Overall, the document argues that government policies in the U.S. have established an unequal system that privileges some religious groups and practices over
State and local preservation laws Pt. 1
Several states have enacted their own historic preservation laws that mirror aspects of the National Historic Preservation Act. These "mini-NHPA" laws establish state historic preservation offices, create state registers of historic places, and require state agencies to consider the effects of their projects on historic properties. For example, laws in Alaska, California, Hawaii, and Guam mandate that state agencies notify the state historic preservation office of proposed undertakings and allow for review and mitigation of impacts prior to starting projects.
Religion and Politics ch3
The document discusses the essential rights and liberties of religion that were foundational to the American constitutional experiment according to founders. It identifies six such principles: liberty of conscience, free exercise of religion, religious pluralism, religious equality, separation of church and state, and disestablishment of religion at least at the national level. These principles worked interdependently to protect against repressive religious establishments while guaranteeing religious freedom for all.
MC 498 Paper
This document summarizes and discusses religious discrimination against minority religions in the United States. It provides several examples of how the legal rights of minority religions have been limited by the Supreme Court in recent decades, such as restricting fundraising, limiting access to public spaces for religious expression, and not allowing certain religious practices even if they do not harm others. The document also discusses how minority religions often have to petition state legislatures for exemptions from general laws and policies in order to freely practice their faith, whereas majoritarian Christian faiths rarely require such exemptions. This establishes an inherent favoritism toward mainstream religions in law and policy.
Lemont
This document discusses constitutional reform processes in four American Indian nations: the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, Hualapai Nation, Navajo Nation, and Northern Cheyenne Tribe. It describes challenges they faced such as political obstacles to change and lack of citizen participation. The nations overcame these challenges by relying on institutions like reform commissions, conventions, and courts, and by implementing civic education programs. Their experiences demonstrate how tribes can create more effective and legitimate constitutions.
The history of native american reservations pp
Native American reservations were created for several reasons, including to control Native American tribes and force assimilation. The Dawes Act of 1887 broke up tribal lands and opened reservations to settlement. The Indian Reorganization Act of 1934 reversed this policy and increased tribal sovereignty, but reservations still face many social and economic problems today.

The document summarizes the U.S. government's announcement of support for the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. It discusses the extensive consultation process with tribes that informed the decision. It also outlines several ongoing U.S. initiatives to strengthen tribal self-governance and the government-to-government relationship, protect Native lands and cultures, and address issues like public safety, health care, and economic development in line with the Declaration's principles.

It was founded in 1987 by Pat Robertson to mobilize conservative Christian voters. Under Robertson and Ralph Reed, the Coalition grew rapidly and aimed to support conservative Christian presidential candidates. However, its tax-exempt status was revoked in 1999 due to its partisan political activities including biased voter guides. While once influential, membership in the Coalition has declined significantly in recent years.

Religion and Politics ch5
For the first 150 years of the American republic, states primarily governed religious rights and liberties, as Congress failed to pass national laws on the topic. Most state constitutions protected liberty of conscience and free exercise of religion. While states sought to maintain religious pluralism and equality among groups, they also patronized a common public Christianity. The frontier provided an outlet for religious diversity. Starting in the 1920s, the Supreme Court began reviewing some state laws related to religion based on a standard of fundamental religious liberty.

The Indian Act was first passed in 1876 and aimed to consolidate previous laws regarding Indigenous peoples into a single piece of legislation to further the Canadian government's goal of assimilating Indigenous cultures. It imposed restrictions on Indigenous cultural practices and established the federal government's control over Indigenous lands and status. While the Indian Act has seen some amendments to address issues of discrimination, there remains ongoing disputes around Indigenous rights and land claims.

Discussion 1
Certain freedoms identified and protected by the Constitution have been the subject of intense political, social, and cultural controversy. The right of all Americans to believe, say, and write what they want, to protest in our streets, and to challenge the pervading political, social, cultural thoughts of the day are the most fundamental of American freedoms. Yet, these freedoms have been, are, and will continue to be modified and will evolve as our nation evolves. For instance, in the last 10 years, numerous types of social media have been developed that have changed the way society operates. New versions of social media, from Facebook to SnapChat, are available at the click of a button – and even on our cellphones. When the Founding Fathers wrote the U.S. Constitution, they had no idea how technology would advance or how this would impact citizens’ rights. Is virtual freedom of speech the same as freedom of speech in other media outlets (i.e., freedom of the press)? What are some of the civil liberty balancing concerns between freedom of speech/civil liberty supporters and security/law enforcement officials? Be sure to consider the

Discussion 2
The lack of a national religion supported and established by the federal government has been hailed as one of the most important principles that ensure religious freedom in the United States. In addition, the ability to practice any religious or non-religious beliefs is equally applauded as a core tenant of religious freedom. Still, the debate over religious freedom continues throughout our nation. Currently, numerous organized religions co-exist with organizations for non-believers. In your opinion, what are the essential elements of religious freedom? Is separation of church and state necessary? Does the U.S. Constitution equally and effectively protect the rights of all religious believers and non-believers? Explain your reasoning, discuss why you are taking the positions you are taking in your response.

Article 25-28
India, most popularly acknowledged as the land of spiritual beliefs, philosophical thinking, culture, has also been the birthplace of quite a few number of religions out of which some of them exist in this era as well.
‘Religion’ is entirely a matter of choice, perception and belief.
People in this country have a strong faith and dependence when it comes to their religion as they perceive that religion adds meaning and reason to their lives.
When it comes to people who are extremely devoted to their religion, they leave no stone unturned in showing a substantial amount of fidelity towards their respective religion.

The Story of Federal Indian Law.
Federal Policy
There are 2 basic views regarding Indian tribes:
1. Indian tribes are here to stay and need a land base which needs to be protected.
2.
Tribes should disappear and their members absorbed into mainstream society.
The result is that for the last two hundred and twenty-five years federal policy regarding Indian affairs has been pendulum-like, swinging back and forth between assimilation and self-determination. This shift does not occur instantly, it rather resembles a continuum:
Assimilation____________________________________________Self-determination
The textbooks divide the history of federal Indian policy into several eras.
1.
Colonial Period – ended in 1820
Initially, European powers dealt with Indians through the use of treaties. After the American Revolution, the federal government continued this practice for two reasons: Non-Indian settlers needed land, and war weary from the American Revolution, the federal government wanted to ensure peaceful relations with Indians.
European powers, and later the federal government, took the role of a protector of the Indians from the settlers who wanted land. The U.S. Constitution gave Congress power over Indian affairs, so Congress passed a series of Trade and Intercourse Acts that made interactions with Indians subject to federal control.
2. Removal (1820-1850)
Generally, the non-Indian community believed that Indians would assimilate, become christianized and live in the European tradition. There were those, however, including Thomas Jefferson and his followers, who didn’t believe Indians and non-Indians could live together. Jefferson therefore urged voluntary removal of Indians to their own territory west of the Mississippi River.
Indians were moved from the southeast U.S. to Oklahoma, many of them dying along the way. This resulted in what has become known as the “trail of tears.” The move was termed “voluntary”, but under the circumstances, tribes were left with little choice other than to leave their homelands. By 1849, the eastern U.S. was almost entirely free of Indian tribes. The Bureau of Indian Affairs was then moved from the War Dept. to the Dept. of Interior.
3. Movement to Reservations (1850-1887)
Non-Indians began to move westward. The federal government created a policy of restricting tribes to reservations. Tribes were moved entirely or were granted portions of their land, with the bulk of the land going to the federal government through treaties that were often coerced or fraudulently induced.
When Indians were placed on reservations, Indian agents supervised their adaptation of non-Indian ways. Organized religions tried to christianize Indians and reservations were divided among the churches. There are many Baptist churches on reserv.
PRESS RELEASE—KRISIN BECK—April 2
Krisin Beck, a 20-year Navy Seal, criticized recent laws passed in Indiana and Arkansas that threaten the rights of LGBT citizens. Several states introduced over 85 anti-LGBT bills this year, with some passing that allow discrimination. The new religious freedom laws in Indiana and Arkansas were overly broad until amended due to public backlash. However, they still don't explicitly prevent discrimination and don't include statewide non-discrimination protections for LGBT people. Bills in other states, like those requiring bathroom surveillance in Florida and Texas based on unfounded fears, should not pass and future bills must protect the rights of all Americans.
Understanding Secularism (1).pptx
The document discusses the concept of secularism. It defines secularism as the separation of religion and state where the state does not have an official religion and does not interfere in religious matters. It provides India as an example of a secular state where no single religion is promoted by the government. The document also explains why secularism is important to prevent the domination of one religious group and to protect the fundamental rights of individuals.
Religion in the United States.pptx
- Among developed countries, the United States is one of the most religious, with religion playing a prominent role in American culture and politics since early colonial days when settlers came seeking religious freedom.
- The U.S. Constitution guarantees freedom of religion, and as a result the country is highly religiously diverse with hundreds of denominations of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and other faiths represented.
- While most Americans identify with a religion, rates of regular religious service attendance and belief in God are lower than in other developed nations, reflecting an American culture that also emphasizes personal freedom and secularism.

The Story of Federal Indian Law.
Federal Policy
There are 2 basic views regarding Indian tribes:
1. Indian tribes are here to stay and need a land base which needs to be protected.
2.
Tribes should disappear and their members absorbed into mainstream society.
The result is that for the last two hundred and twenty-five years federal policy regarding Indian affairs has been pendulum-like, swinging back and forth between assimilation and self-determination. This shift does not occur instantly, it rather resembles a continuum:
Assimilation____________________________________________Self-determination
The textbooks divide the history of federal Indian policy into several eras.
1.
Colonial Period – ended in 1820
Initially, European powers dealt with Indians through the use of treaties. After the American Revolution, the federal government continued this practice for two reasons: Non-Indian settlers needed land, and war weary from the American Revolution, the federal government wanted to ensure peaceful relations with Indians.
European powers, and later the federal government, took the role of a protector of the Indians from the settlers who wanted land. The U.S. Constitution gave Congress power over Indian affairs, so Congress passed a series of Trade and Intercourse Acts that made interactions with Indians subject to federal control.
2. Removal (1820-1850)
Generally, the non-Indian community believed that Indians would assimilate, become christianized and live in the European tradition. There were those, however, including Thomas Jefferson and his followers, who didn’t believe Indians and non-Indians could live together. Jefferson therefore urged voluntary removal of Indians to their own territory west of the Mississippi River.
Indians were moved from the southeast U.S. to Oklahoma, many of them dying along the way. This resulted in what has become known as the “trail of tears.” The move was termed “voluntary”, but under the circumstances, tribes were left with little choice other than to leave their homelands. By 1849, the eastern U.S. was almost entirely free of Indian tribes. The Bureau of Indian Affairs was then moved from the War Dept. to the Dept. of Interior.
3. Movement to Reservations (1850-1887)
Non-Indians began to move westward. The federal government created a policy of restricting tribes to reservations. Tribes were moved entirely or were granted portions of their land, with the bulk of the land going to the federal government through treaties that were often coerced or fraudulently induced.
When Indians were placed on reservations, Indian agents supervised their adaptation of non-Indian ways. Organized religions tried to christianize Indians and reservations were divided among the churches. There are many Baptist churches on reserv.
PRESS RELEASE—KRISIN BECK—April 2
Krisin Beck, a 20-year Navy Seal, criticized recent laws passed in Indiana and Arkansas that threaten the rights of LGBT citizens. Several states introduced over 85 anti-LGBT bills this year, with some passing that allow discrimination. The new religious freedom laws in Indiana and Arkansas were overly broad until amended due to public backlash. However, they still don't explicitly prevent discrimination and don't include statewide non-discrimination protections for LGBT people. Bills in other states, like those requiring bathroom surveillance in Florida and Texas based on unfounded fears, should not pass and future bills must protect the rights of all Americans.
Understanding Secularism (1).pptx
The document discusses the concept of secularism. It defines secularism as the separation of religion and state where the state does not have an official religion and does not interfere in religious matters. It provides India as an example of a secular state where no single religion is promoted by the government. The document also explains why secularism is important to prevent the domination of one religious group and to protect the fundamental rights of individuals.
Religion in the United States.pptx
- Among developed countries, the United States is one of the most religious, with religion playing a prominent role in American culture and politics since early colonial days when settlers came seeking religious freedom.
- The U.S. Constitution guarantees freedom of religion, and as a result the country is highly religiously diverse with hundreds of denominations of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and other faiths represented.
- While most Americans identify with a religion, rates of regular religious service attendance and belief in God are lower than in other developed nations, reflecting an American culture that also emphasizes personal freedom and secularism.

The Massachusetts Gay and Lesbian Political Caucus records document the organization's activism from 1974-2007 for LGBTQ equality and rights in Massachusetts. The records include meeting minutes, correspondence, publications, photographs, and information on campaigns for civil rights protections, same-sex marriage, hate crime laws, and other issues. They provide insight into the Caucus's advocacy work and collaborations with other state and national advocacy groups in fighting discrimination and achieving legal protections for the LGBTQ community in Massachusetts.

Case Study:
CASE 6.1
EC Application: KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT AT INFOSYS TECHNOLOGIES
The Problem
Infosys Technologies, a global software services company based in India, is a worldwide leader in outsourcing. With over 23,000 employees and globally distributed operations, Infosys develops IT solutions for some of the largest corporations in the world. During the past 10 years, Infosys has experienced annual growth of 30 percent. Infosys faced a challenge of keeping its large employee base up-to-date, staying ahead of both its competitors and clients, and ensuring that the lessons learned in one part of the organization were available to its consultants so they could reuse the knowledge accumulated in the company. The company’s motto is “Learn once, use anywhere.” The company’s vision is that every instance of learning within Infosys should be available to every employee. But how does an organization turn such a vision into a reality?
The
Solution
Infosys Technologies’ effort to convert each employee’s knowledge into an organizational asset started in the early 1990s and extended well into the first decade of the 2000s.
In the early 1990s, Infosys launched its
bodies of knowledge (BOK)
initiative, which involved encouraging employees to provide written accounts of their experiences across various topics, such as technologies, software development, and living abroad. These experiences were then shared in hard-copy form with all other employees. This early effort ballooned into a full-fledged KM effort supported by e-mail, bulletin boards, and various knowledge repositories. In 1996, a corporate intranet was developed to make BOKs, in HTML format, easily accessible to all. In 1999, Infosys began an organization-wide program to integrate the various knowledge initiatives. A central
knowledge portal
was created, called KShop, and although the KM group developed the technology infrastructure, local groups were encouraged to maintain their own content on KShop.
The content of KShop consisted of different content types—BOKs, case studies, reusable artifacts, and downloadable software—each with its own homepage. Content was.

Physical context refers to the immediate surroundings of an artwork, including its location, how viewers access and experience it, and how it functions in that space. Historical context considers when and where a work was created and the social, political, and artistic climate of that time period. Cultural context examines an artwork's conceptual role in the society where it was made, including how art functions in that culture and what the work reveals about that culture. These three types of context - physical, historical, and cultural - provide different but important lenses for understanding and interpreting artworks, such as Richard Serra's 1981 sculpture Tilted Arc located in New York City's Federal Plaza.

POST 1:
After reading this weeks chapter, collective bargaining is essentially a negotiation and comprised of four parts, identifying the issues, researching, strategizing and setting ground rules. (Seaquist, 2015) In my opinion of the one step that would be most important would be the identifying the issues. You need a clear cut idea of what the issues are and where you plan to go with all of this "Since the end product of collective bargaining is the actual agreement, it is essential to first identify what collective bargaining should accomplish. This is referred to as identifying the issues.". Without clarity you could be arguing for nothing and that is where you will wind up and no resolution to anything. Identify what is wanted and /or wrong and then as they say do the research to know where you are going with this. As I stated before, without this step, things would become primarily useless as there is no guidance as to what the main issues are. Such as in this article it describes Mandatory Bargaining Issues as "An employer doesn't have to bargain over every conceivable employment issues. However, employers must bargain with the union over issues that are central to the employment relationship, such as wages, hours, and layoff procedures. Employers must give the union advance notice of any proposed workplace changes that involve these issues, if the union requests it. An employer who refuses to bargain or takes unilateral action in one of these mandatory bargaining areas commits an unfair labor practice."(Guerin, L.2015).
POST 2:
The process of collective bargaining relies on the effective preparation to make sure everything is in place to facilitate a successful bargaining process. The key steps in the collective bargaining process are preparation, discussion, bargaining, and settlement. Each step plays signification role in determining the outcome of the bargaining process.
Preparing for collective bargaining is crucial to the successful outcome of the process. It involves selecting the members of the negotiation team. The team should comprise people who possess extensive knowledge and adequate negotiation skills. The representatives of the union and the company take time to evaluate their goals at this stage. They should all ascertain if there is any valid reason for negotiation. It is imperative for members of the negotiation team to understand the current state of compensation, working conditions, and promotion strategies. It is the knowledge that is crucial to the success of the bargaining process.
The most step in the collective bargaining process is the first step, which is preparation. Negotiation is characterized by discussions and proposals to enable both parties to reach a common point. Effective preparation gives the negotiation team an edge because they understand the goals of the negotiation. It prepares both physically and p.

Comparative Essay
Due Week 8 and worth 200 points
This “Assignment 2” writing assignment is a comparative essay focused on topics encountered in our HUM 111 class. The project will be based on research but will reflect your views and interpretation of the topic. This project is designed to help you stretch your mind and your abilities as an organized, innovative, and critical thinker. If approached properly, it should also be fun!
Choose one (1) of the topics from the list of topic choices below. Read the topic carefully. Write a three to four (3-4) page paper (750-1,000 words) that follows instructions and covers each part of the topic. (The title page and References list do not get included in this word count).
Note:
Your instructor may require you to submit your topic choice for approval before the end of Week 5.
For the topic you choose:
Establish a clear thesis about your topic as part of the introductory paragraph (often the thesis is the last thing one determines after doing the basic research and outline; however it will be placed in the first paragraph of your paper).
This is a comparative essay. Comparison approached properly will require some critical thinking on your part. Use a point-by-point approach for the essay. That means, if comparing subject A with subject B, don't do the first half of the essay on subject A and then the second half on subject B--that will seem like two (2) separate essays and comparisons will tend to get lost. Instead, you should be mentioning both subjects in most of your paragraphs as you compare them throughout the essay. Comparisons will identify similarities as well as contrasts.
Do not try to do everything on your two (2) subjects. You should end up narrowing your focus to a few insights and issues about the subjects being compared. And, from those fairly specific points of comparison, you will develop a thesis and glean some lessons.
Follow closely the instructions below for your specific topic.
Include a concluding paragraph at the end. This paragraph will, in some way, refer back to the thesis established in your first paragraph, since now you have demonstrated and supported it. It may be here that you also include your observations relating your study to the modern workplace or society (see your topic). Try to finish with flair!
Use at least three (3) good quality academic sources, with one (1) source being the class text.

Wikipedia

This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Discuss the foundation of the American Indian Religious Freedom A.docx
- 1. Discuss the foundation of the American Indian Religious Freedom Act. What are the major criticism of the Act? According to Susan Harjo , how is the act applied and how is it working after all these years. Support your answer with examples from other reading and video material from this section. Reading: The American Indian Religious Freedom Act (commonly abbreviated to AIRFA) is a US federal law and a joint resolution of Congress that was passed in 1978. It was created to protect and preserve the traditional religious rights and cultural practices of American Indians, Eskimos, Aleuts and Native Hawaiians. These rights include, but are not limited to, access of sacred sites , repatriation of sacred objects held in museums , freedom to worship through ceremonial and traditional rites, including within prisons, and use and possession of objects considered sacred . The Act required policies of all governmental agencies to eliminate interference with the free exercise of Native religion , based on the First Amendment, and to accommodate access to and use of religious sites to the extent that the use is practicable and is not inconsistent with an agency's essential functions. It also acknowledged the prior violation of that right. Taos Pueblo, New Mexico, with its sacred Blue Lake in the

Whereas the freedom of religion for all people is an inherent right, fundamental to the democratic structure of the United States and is guaranteed by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution; Whereas the United States has traditionally rejected the concept of a government denying individuals the right to practice their religion, and as a result, has benefited from a rich variety of religious heritages in this country; Whereas the religious practices of the American Indian (as well as Native Alaskan and Hawaiian) are an integral part of their culture, tradition, and heritage, such practices forming the basis of Indian identity and value systems; Whereas the traditional American Indian religions as an integral part of Indian life, are indispensable and irreplaceable; Whereas the lack of a clear, comprehensive, and consistent Federal policy has often resulted in the abridgment of religious freedom for traditional American Indians; Whereas such religious infringements result from the lack of knowledge of the insensitive and inflexible enforcement of Federal policies and regulations premised on a variety of laws; Whereas such laws were designed for such worthwhile purposes as conservation and preservation of natural species and resources but were never intended to relate to Indian religious practices and, there, were passed without consideration of their effect on traditional American Indian religions; Whereas such laws and policies often deny American Indians access to sacred sites required in their religions, including cemeteries; Whereas such laws at times prohibit the use and possession of sacred objects necessary to the exercise of religious rites and ceremonies; Whereas traditional American Indian ceremonies have been

SEC. 2. The President shall direct that various Federal departments, agencies, and other instrumentalities responsible for the administering relevant laws to evaluate their policies and procedures in consultation with Native traditional religious leaders in order to determine appropriate changes necessary to protect and preserve Native American religious cultural rights and practices. Twelve months after approval of this resolution, the President shall report back to Congress the results of his evaluation, including any changes which were made in administrative policies and procedures, and any recommendations he may have for legislative action. Approved August 11, 1978 The major criticism of the American Indian Religious Freedom Act was its inability to enforce its provisions , therefore its inability to provide religious freedom without condition. The act served as more of a joint resolution than an actual law. Its failure to protect certain sacred sites proved detrimental to Native American culture and religion as a whole. The 1988 Lyng v. Northwest Indian Cemetery Association decision represented a unique convergence of religion, law, and land, and confirmed the American Indian Religious Freedom Act as a hollow excess of words
- 4. Due to the criticism of the AIRFA and its inability to enforce the provisions it outlined in 1978. On June 10, 1994 the House of Representatives, Committee on Natural resources and Subcommittee on Native American Affairs met to bring about H.R. 4155 in order to provide for the management of federal lands in a way that doesn't frustrate the traditional religions and religious purposes of Native Americans . Also, H.R. 4230 was set forth to amend the American Indian Religious Freedom Act to provide for the traditional use of peyote as sacrament in religious ceremonies. Also consider the NAGPRA (Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act of 1990) and ARPA (Archaeological Resources Protection Act 1979).
