Native American religion

Native American religions encompass a diverse range of spiritual beliefs and practices inherent to Indigenous peoples of North America. These traditions often emphasize harmony with nature, reverence for ancestors, and community rituals. Many view spirits as interconnected with natural elements like animals, rivers, and mountains, guiding moral and spiritual life. Practices can include ceremonies, storytelling, dance, prayer, and sacred rites, each unique to specific tribes. Despite differences, a common thread is valuing balance, respect, and spiritual connection with the world around them, reflecting a worldview where humans are part of a broader, living spiritual universe.
