My dissertation was a hermeneutic phenomenology research study. Dissertation topical query: What are the issues of authenticity surrounding the practice of importing American Indian spiritual traditions and ceremonial practices across cultural boundaries from an Indian to a non-Indian context? What are the factors that describe the meaning of non-Indian participation in American Indian religious practices from non-Indian and Indian points of view?
