What religion is the Omaha Indian tribe?

Answer 1

The Oglala were native of the Teton (Lakota) tribes of the Sioux tribes. As such they adhered to the same idealisms as the greater Sioux nation. They understood there to be a Creator and many other forces to be revered. The Sioux were very sure that they could not (or should not) understand the gods. Instead they spent a majority of their worship in honoring "Wakan Tanka."

Wakan was a belief that everything in life (humans, animals, plants, rivers, oceans, lands, and the universe) were connected and one as a whole. It was believed that all life came from Mother Earth. This led to a strong sense of stewardship over animals and lands. Everything was considered family and sacred.

The concept of Wakan was symbolized by the circle. The circle represented the eternity and continuous flow of the universe. The Sioux also revered the number four. They believed the great Creator created everything in fours. For example... Time was split into day, night, lunar, and solar. Life was split into infanthood, childhood, adulthood, and old age. Seven was also a sacred number.

An important ideal is also that of "the song." The Sioux believed that each part of the universe hid a section of the song of creation. It was in the Black Hills that it was said one could hear the entire song of creation. The Black Hills also was the resting place for the souls of the dead.

Answer 2

Just about every Native American belief system is centered around nature and the belief of animals as spirit guides. They are very tied to nature and animals as a whole. I am not sure of the proper term to refer to this type of belief structure as...

now a days there are native Americans that are christans and go to many different churchs there is no one religion that the native American people belief in. It is a personal choice and no one answer is right.

Answer 3

Religious Beliefs. For the Ojibwa the supernatural world held a multitude of spiritual beings and forces. Some of these beings and forces-Sun, Moon, Four Winds, Thunder, and Lightning-were benign, but others-ghosts, witches, and Windigo, a supernatural cannibalistic giant-were malevolent and feared. Presiding over all other spirits was Kiccimanito, or Great Spirit, although this belief may have been a product of European influence. Ojibwa religion was very much an individual affair and centered on the belief in power received from spirits during dreams and visions. For this reason, dreams and visions were accorded great significance and much effort was given to their interpretation. The power obtained through them could be used to manipulate the natural and supernatural environments and employed for either good or evil purposes. Missionization by the Anglican and Roman Catholic churches began during the nineteenth century, but conversion and Christian influence were limited prior to the twentieth century. In the mid-twentieth century the religious orientation of many Ojibwa was a mixture of Christian and traditional native elements.

Religious Practitioners. In their vision quests, some young men received more spiritual power than others, and it was they who in later life became shamans. Several different types of shamans existed, the type being determined by the sort of spiritual power received.

The reason the ojibwe made dreamcheacers is to portect their baby/child from getting nightmares. the leagand says that the bad dreams will stay capchered in the web of the dream chacher.
