James Treat

I teach courses on indigenous religious and ecological traditions at the University of Illinois. My research and writing have focused on native religious diversity in the contemporary period, especially the relationship between tribal and Christian traditions in native communities, addressing the broader theoretical and practical questions raised by the intersections of religion, culture, and politics in a diverse and conflicted world. My current book project is titled Tribal Visions of the Church Way: Postcanonical Tracts and Testaments, a collection of my own articles and essays on the native encounter with Christianity.
