The Indian Shaker Church is a Christian denomination founded in 1881 by Squaxin shaman John Slocum and his wife Mary Slocum in Washington state. The Indian Shaker Church is a unique blend of Native, Catholic, and Protestant beliefs and practices.
The Indian Shakers are unrelated to the Shakers (United Society of Believers) and are not to be confused with the Native American Church.
