I would liike to point out that the myriad of religions practiced by
American Indians is not covered under the U.S. Constitution.

This is why there has been a bill the Amnerican Indian Religious
Freedom Act (AIRFA) which ha recently become the Native American
Religious Freedom Act (NARFA) or something to that effect. Suffice it
to say, there is no protection for American Indians who want to
practice their religions.

As another little fact. The Satanist Church is protected by the first
amendment. Why? Because the concept of Satan is one based in
Christianity, which American Indian religions do not adhere to.

Intersting twist dont'ya think!
