The National Day of Prayer in Solidarity with Indigenous Peoples is celebrated on December 12 every year, on the feast day of Our Lady of Guadalupe, patroness of the Americas, who appeared to a humble native peasant, Juan Diego, in Mexico in 1531. The Canadian Catholic Aboriginal Council celebrates this day for prayer, solidarity and reconciliation, by issuing an annual message honouring Aboriginal people who were inspired by their Catholic faith.

The dawning of the twenty-first century has witnessed a more global philosophical outlook among North Americans. A healthy curiosity has motivated investigations into wider parameters of philosophical thought, including Aboriginal spirituality. This book not only offers an in-depth look at First Nations' theology, but parallels its key themes with Old Testament Hebraic thought, which comprises the roots of Christianity.
The first chapters of the book outline the common tribal histories of North American Indians and Old Testament Jews. Key doctrines central to both Aboriginal and Biblical theology are then compared and contrasted in language readily understood by the layman. These include the doctrine of God, anthropology, epistemology, soteriolgoy, deontology and eschatologoy. Parallels in the way spiritual leadership is viewed by Aboriginal Peoples, Hebrews and Christians are drawn, and the final chapter features a special case study of the Stoney Nation.

As Pope Francis states, Catholics are called to foster a society of peace and justice, which requires dialogue and collaboration with all human beings, many of whom declare themselves as believers, yet, pray and live differently us. But how does that dialogue even begin if we know little or nothing of the beliefs and practices of others? This book on Aboriginal spirituality and Catholicism is part of a larger series entitled We Are All Children of God that describes world religions from a Catholic perspective. In this book, using clear and straightforward language, complete with images and reflective questions, Catholics learn what is true and holy in Aboriginal spirituality, appreciate and celebrate the differences between our religions, and we discern how to live and interact with Aboriginal peoples, as we collaborate on achieving peace and justice in our world. Through the process, with text approved by the Catholic Bishops of Ontario, Catholics can better understand and deepen their own faith, and appreciate how important God is in becoming fully human.
