Outlining any single group of Native American's religion before contact is almost impossible in most cases. Most tribes were quickly decimated and forced under new religious rules before any historical records could be made of their religion. I did a quick search and did not find any credible historical accounts of their religious practices. As such the only answer that can be given, without a narrative by a traditional tribal member, is: that the tribe held or believed in a primitive belief system attributed to many other of its kind:

  • normally a creation myth by a god or gods like figure(s) this would include some type of power that allowed the deity to create heaven and earth (the sky and planet).
  • A system of good and bad acts that would result in earthly and non-earthly rewards and punishments.
  • A belief that the sun only rises, flowers only bloom, food only grows because it is the will of this deity.
