The Complete Idiot's Guide to World Religions

[Pono Aloha]

This book, which according to customer reviews is being used in schools and libraries, has a chapter on traditional religions in which Africa, Native American and "Hawaiian" traditions are discussed. I don't see much about Native American but it could be it's on the hidden pages. All I could find is that Native American traditions have in common a shaman, a fetish, and a totem. The book is repeating all of the Huna crap as Hawaiian.

This page has the latest edition of the book: http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Idiots-Guide-World-Religions/dp/161564069X

This page has the older edition, but a "look inside" feature so you can see some of what is said: http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Idiots-Guide-World-Religions/dp/1592572227

this kinda crap in books is part of the problem

To me this is much worse than workshops, which can always be seen as weekend flings for mostly middle-aged white people. Putting this bs in books that are used in schools and libraries takes it to a completely different level.
