About this Quote

This quote by Charles Eastman speaks with the problem of comprehending the religion of Native Americans. Eastman recommends that the religion of the Indian is the last thing that an individual of another race will ever understand. This is likely due to the truth that Native American religious beliefs are deeply rooted in their culture and history, and are frequently based on spiritual beliefs that are hard to understand from an outsider's point of view. In Addition, Native American religious beliefs are often given orally, making it challenging for those beyond the culture to acquire a complete understanding. Eastman's quote acts as a tip of the value of appreciating and understanding the beliefs of others, even if they are hard to understand. It is just through open discussion and mutual regard that we can start to comprehend the faith of the Indian and other cultures.
