From the supplier: Native Americans have often been denied their right to freedom of religion, even after the 1978 passage of the American Indian Religious Freedom Act (AIRFA). Prison officials have the authority to prohibit religious activities of Native American prisoners as possible security risks although many corrections officials report that security fears are not valid. Encouraging developments include state legislation supporting religious rights for Native American prisoners and the introduction of AIRFA amendments.
