Abstract
"Government treatment of traditional Indian religions has been inconsistent, fluctuating with the perceptions of Congress and the Bureau of Indian Affairs."
"A further aspect of civil religions is that the practice of religion must be within the boundaries of municipal law and civil order. Thus state police powers are believed to be the final arbiter of values in human society. Beliefs and practices must conform to city ordinances, state laws, and federal regulations, and insofar as they conflict, they must surrender themselves to civil authority. "
