This book explores how ethnic groups living in the Himalayan regions understand nature and culture. It addresses the opposition between nature and culture in Asia's major religious traditions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam and Shamanism. It also brings together specialists of different representative groups to examine how these indigenous groups perceive their world. This includes understanding their mythic past, in particular, the place of animals and spirits in the world of humans as they see it and the role of ritual in the everyday lives of these people.
