Kaszubi i ich wiara w Boga/bogów: religijność i wierzeniowość jako kulturowy fundament tożsamości

The text presents a pedagogically important issue of textbooks for ethnic education. The exam-ples investigated are textbooks for early Kashubian education. In Polish pedagogy, ethnic text-books are rarely the subject of research in the field of early education pedagogy, regional edu-cation pedagogy and intercultural pedagogy. For this reason, they are periodically a subject of critical research which is aimed at examining them in the context of pedagogical reflections on cultural aspects of religiosity and religious beliefs. Religiosity and religious beliefs are the key area of the article. They allowed the textbook to present an aspect of “the truth” about ethnic identity (Kashubian identity). It also enabled me to recognize the textbook pattern of identity as a pattern of identity behaviours (Tadeusz Lewowicki) in the areas of language (Kashubian speech) and religious behaviours (Catholicism) and beliefs (Slavic-Kashubian).
