just curious. it seems like a little bit of the beliefs a hippie has can be linked to paganism, as well as native american beliefs. what do you think?

no. i meant native americans and hippies believed in peace and love as well. many hippies believed in preserving the lands, and having love and respect for animals. that is what i meant. i know the cultures are different, that's why they have different names. duh.

It covers a wide range of people, from those with long unkemp hair wearing hand made clothing to those with alternative views, beliefs and living systems.

No. It was a lifestyle based on free love and peace for all human beings. There was no actual relationship to religion or social standing. There were hippies of many religions, and every social class.
I was just a movement, similar to that of other times, such as the roaring twenties in the 1920's..
It had nothing to do with Native American beliefs either.

US History Encyclopedia:
Hippies
On 5 September 1965, in an article in the San Francisco Examiner about the new "Bohemian" scene developing in the Haight-Ashbury district, Michael Fallon labeled its members "hippies." The label stuck and was thereafter applied to any young person who experimented with drugs, exhibited an unconventional appearance, enjoyed new forms of "acid" music and art, expressed disdain for mainstream values and institutions, investigated exotic religions, or espoused a philosophy that combined the beats' existentialism with a colorful, expressive joie de vivre all their own. Although initially treated as a harmless curiosity by the media, Ronald Reagan, then governor of California, spoke for many Americans when he defined a hippie as someone who "dresses like Tarzan, has hair like Jane, and smells like Cheetah."

A Hippie is a dirty, lazy pothead who has nothing better to do then protest! An actual hippie can be recognized by their long hair, brightly colored clothing in unusual styles, such as bell-bottoms, tie-dye t-shirts, and dashikis. (Many Hippies made their own clothes.) They tend to wear long beaded necklaces, head bands and scarves, and sandals. The most recognizable symbol of the hippie is the Peace Sign which is usually on their clothes, jewelry or painted on automobiles!!!
