C.G. Jung and Lakota Sioux scholar Vine Deloria, Jr. recognized that Jungian psychology could serve as a bridge between Native American cultures and the Western psyche. To further this bridge-building, Spring Journal has invited Native American psychologists, scholars, and cultural commentators to share their insights upon the connections and disconnections between Native American cultures and the Western psyche, how each informs the other, and what helps or hinders a dialogue between them.
