Greg Johnson is Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Religious
 Studies at the University of Colorado, Boulder. His research focuses upon 
contemporary indigenous religious traditions, particularly as expressed in 
episodes of legal struggle. He is the author of Sacred Claims: Repatriation and 
Living Tradition (UVA Press, 2007), and his current book 
project, Religion in the Moment: Contemporary Lives of Indigenous Traditions,
 addresses several unfolding repatriation disputes and theorizes these with
