Suzanne Owen's study documents a specific, checkable pattern, particular Native ceremonies moving out of the communities that hold them and into a generic commercial spiritual marketplace, and the named objections the nations concerned have raised against that movement, rather than a general survey of Native American religion. That focus on a documented pattern with named examples and named objecting parties is the book's real evidentiary content. This record has not independently traced further scholarly or community response since 2008. Use it to document this specific appropriation pattern and the objections raised against it; it is not a comprehensive source on any one nation's own religious practice, which needs a source from or about that specific nation.
