Abstract for Online Program Book (maximum 150 words)

_Indigenous Religious Traditions in Five Minutes_ aims to answer many of the questions that come to mind when we think about the religious lives of Native and Indigenous peoples of the world. Scholars from many fields answer questions about a variety of specific Indigenous religious traditions and the ideas, practices, and beliefs people associate with them. The question of who is Indigenous and who has the right or responsibility to advocate for and/or on behalf of Indigenous communities arises in explicit and implicit ways throughout this volume. This round table asks scholars who have used this volume in the classroom to share their experiences. What about the volume did they find particularly helpful? What landed well and was most legible for students? What essays did they choose to use and why? Most importantly, which essays helped them discuss or complicate a topic that would have been daunting otherwise?
