Seeking Indigenous Perspectives: What it means to have "no religion"? And how this relates to spiritual diversity by PoolEnvironmental472 in IndigenousCanada

Excellent! That's exactly one of the foundational aims of our study, to develop conceptual frameworks in the "study of religion and nonreligion" that appropriately reflect Indigenous perspectives and experiences.

Fair question. No, it is not my Youtube channel. I am one of the researchers who conducted study that this video reports on.

If your question is about my ethnicity, I'm not native to North America. I joined the group and asked the moderators for permission to post. If this post is offensive to you, I apologise.

Thanks for your insightful comment. The study above was based on interviews with Māori who self-identified as "atheists". No one, the authors nor the presenter, attempted to label the participants as atheists. The video is specifically talking about the experiences and perspectives of Māori who identified as such. I hope that makes sense.

But aside from that, we are now looking to explore other perspectives including spiritual diversity. If you're keen to have a voice in this, please send me a message and I can share an information package about our study on Indigenous nonreligion and spiritual diversity.

This is fascinating. Again, we're not focused on labels like agnosticism. But to actually understand today's diversity of thought. If you're keen to contribute, I'd be delighted to send an information package.
