Native American Traditions

The idea
Many Native American nations traditionally treat death as a communal, cyclical event, with practices that differ from nation to nation.
In practice
The Lakota keeping locks of hair, the Navajo not speaking the name of the dead, and some nations waiting four days to bury.
Where people slip
Practices belong to particular nations, not to Native Americans as a single group.
