the Conference will
§ Explore and present the concept of Religious Freedom from the perspective of non-evangelical non-proselytizing traditions, such as native American, African, Buddhist, Hindu, and all other ancient traditions and cultures;
§ Examine the harm that has been done to native religious traditions under the guise of one-sided definition of Religious Freedom;
§ Explore how we can promote the awareness, understanding, and appreciation of the native traditions so that the followers of such traditions become better prepared to guard against the onslaught of evangelical proselytizing faiths; and
§ Develop strategies for promoting the genuine Religious Freedom which will promote religious harmony and diversity.
The Saturday morning sessions will feature the keynote addresses by Swami Tattwavidananda of Arsha Vidya Gurukulam on the Hindu Perspective and Chief Avrol Looking Horse on the American Natives Perspective of Religious Freedom.
