Book excerpt: Vecsey, a professor of religion and Native American studies at Colgate University, concludes his trilogy on Native American Catholicism with a study of how Indian Catholics have tried to follow the route of two separate traditions, each with its own expectations and identities. He examines the lives of American Indian Catholics who have been leaders in their communities and in the Church and considers how these men and women have brought together their Indian and Catholic identities to accomplish a cultural and religious syncretism within themselves.
