five centuries, as representatives from European countries invaded Indigenous lands across five continents, the practice of Indigenous dancing emerged as a privileged site of both colonial repression and Indigenous resistance. Kimerer will outline this historical
conflict and assess the implications for the study of religion, arguing that the task of overcoming the legacy of Euro-American colonialism will not be complete until scholars embrace “dance" as a distinctive agent of religious experience and expression.</span></div>
