The consequence that most likely resulted from sacred Indigenous religions being banned by Europeans is the loss of Indigenous religious texts. When Europeans attempted to convert Indigenous peoples to Christianity, they often suppressed and banned their native religions. This meant that Indigenous religious texts, which contained their myths, histories, and spiritual practices, were either destroyed or hidden away to avoid persecution. As a result, much of the knowledge and wisdom contained in these texts was lost, leading to a significant impact on the preservation of Indigenous myths and history.
