The Navajo (Diné) word for their girls coming of age (first menstruation) ceremony is Kinaaldá. (The accent on the last vowel means it is high tone.)

It is a four day ceremony that is modeled after the first one that Changing Woman had that enabled her to have children.

There is no single "Native American" culture or language. There are hundreds of unrelated ones.

Why was Native American spirituality a problem for Rome?

Not really sure what you are asking, but I shall take a stab at it: Native American spirituality is very diverse, so making a general statement about "native American spirituality" is more than a little difficult; but the most general thing that could be noted is that, for the most party, Native American Spirituality is sort of a pantheism, which has shown up in the current age as "New Age" spirituality, and been completely and totally condemned by the Vatican, and other religions that it is trying to influence, like the protestant version of Christianity.
