Native American Church of Ohio
Exists to Unearth the Creator's Spirit,
in our Hearts and Heritage,
for all of our relations.
The Native American Church represents North and South American indigenous earth based healing spiritual beliefs and practices. America’s indigenous spirituality was first congressionally recognized and signed into law, Dawes Act 1876, by United States President Grant. In 1918, a committee of Oklahoma federally recognized American Native Spiritual leaders Incorporated the Native American Church. The American Indian Religious Freedom Act (AIRFA), 42 U.S.C. 1978, August 11, 1978, was signed into law by President Carter and finally with the Amendment to AIRFA, the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000, signed by President Clinton gives the clear and concise understanding that the Native American Church had been mandated to receive all the protections and rights of the First Amendment since 1918. April 11, 1997 Oklevueha Native American Church was Incorporated in the State of Utah.
