Based on nothing but my opinion and 48 years of observation ...

Some white people adopt aspects of Native American and Eastern religions because of the novelty, because those practices seem closer to nature and/or because they've become alienated from their own religious tradition and are seeking to fill the void. You might understand if you spent 12 years in Sunday school hearing a starched church matron explain how followers of all those 'other' religions were going to hell.
