Native Americans are Animists. They are connected to Nature. Nothing is a coincidence. There are SIGNS in the way a tree branches, or an animal crosses a river. A songbird might well be a person (probably a dead person) visiting you. The Shaman is able to cross to the land of the dead and check up on how everyone's doing there, and bring the news back to the living. He dreams, and when he dreams he can metamorphosize. He could do something like open someone's laptop and read what's on it when in the shape of another creature, at night whilst he's dreaming. (More likely, steal a hunk of bread!) The truth is FELT and KNOWN and there's no point talking about it. Men sit together smoking the peace pipe which is a very big deal - what way the smoke blows. People who talk too much are kinda weird. Hunters are successful by treating the animals as if they are women they are pursuing and they communicate with the god of the species. Animals have all kinds of attributes. Eg. the Bear is considered to be like a human. The coyote is The Trickster - not as he seems. THere is absolute respect and re-payment for what is taken from Nature, and knowledge of cycles, seasons and the land, so there is sacrifice and thanks. There is no exclusive ownership of anything - things are borrowed and denote status whilst held. The SELF is therefore different. They are nomads and they are tribal. THis is all a description of how things were in the latter half of the 19th century. Things have very much changed. However, this is the sort of conceptual world they inhabited.

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.
The Great Awakening was a series of religious revivals in the American colonies during the 18th century, characterized by an emphasis on personal faith and emotional experiences over established religious practices. It led to the rise of new denominations, increased church membership, and a focus on individual spirituality. The movement also fostered a spirit of questioning authority and contributed to a sense of shared American identity, which had lasting effects on social and political dynamics, paving the way for revolutionary sentiments in the years leading up to the American Revolution.
