Description:

This course will review the wide variety of belief systems found in traditional tribal societies. Throughout most of human history, people have lived in small scale societies which have followed religious practices commonly integrated into their ecosystems. Horticulturalists, pastoralists and hunter gatherers have been commonly dependent upon their relations with other animals and the food sources available in the ecological niche in which they live. The belief systems of these peoples have provided fertile ground for the development of the major religions found in the world today.
