Native Religions did not have "Gods" as you use the term. "God" as you use the term (Jewdao-Christian beliefs) is a direct contrast to the "Greater Spirits" that were symbolized by Native Religions.

They believed in the Great God, and the Great God was everything in Nature. They did do dances

Lastly one of their most common ways of worshiping was when making hard decisions they smoked pipes, because they believed that the smoke would carry their thoughts to the Great God in the heavens.

yes. and no. they did not have "gods" as you would, but they had "spirits" that were everywhere. There were spirits in the ground and in the water, in the animals and trees. However, they did not have what we would think of as "gods".

There is no single Native American view of God. Generally, however, we believe He is the Creator of all things- the giver of life. Everything has a life or soul and we are entrusted by God to care for His world.
