== == * Whether the younger generation of Native Americans still believe in their culture it's difficult to say, but the "wise ones" look towards the Eagle, Bear, Wolf, Raven, Crow and even the Hummingbird and depending on where they live Whales.

* Native Americans do not 'worship' animals. There is a difference between worship and honor. They honor all the animals by recognizing them as spiritually aware and using advice, given in dreams and visions, to orchestrate their lives. Along with honor is respect, as said with the answer above not all of the younger generation of natives necessarily believe in the old traditions, but animals are our teachers our companions and our guardians, though many animals are taken for granted. Even the common house cat is a guide and guardian. If you've ever heard it said that petting a cat releases stress, that's one example of the gifts animals give. To take our bad energy and mellow it out so we can do what we need to. Another example is, most times when you see a animal there are different meanings. Like if you see a Hawk, it can mean your prayers are going to be answered. Not necessarily in the exact way you want, but a confirmation things will be okay. Hawk is the Little Brother to the Eagle, and in many Native traditions Eagles speak to Creator. Native Americans only truly worship Creator, the animals are our helpers so to speak. Not every tribe regards each animal the same. For some, seeing an owl is a sign of good luck and for others it is a sign of someones death. They also worshiped the eagle as god of the sky.
