Most of what comprises Indigenous spirituality (from my perspective as a North American Native) is just a relationship with the land, and I think it's important that settlers realize that that is something they could have too. In the past we shared our practices to help settlers looking for a different way but over time they were abused and distorted in horrifying and disgusting ways. That's why everything is so locked down now, so it falls onto settlers to create their own relationships with the land without us holding their hands.
And when I say a relationship with the land I don't mean that in some nebulous and mystical way. This shit is dialectics, you can see all the relationships between the things on the land you occupy and interact with it to improve the land. This is something that anyone is capable of and it is what separates an Indigenous person from a settler.
And yeah whitey has to find a new culture too but I don't got anything for that. Last time we tried we made hippies which was pretty fucking deranged. Maybe a revolutionary culture like what was attempted by the Black Panthers, the USSR, and the PRC would suffice.
