Native Americans were generally a very Spiritual people, deeply tied to the earth. Religious beliefs are cultural things and don't have a lot to do with your relationship to Spirit, which is a personal thing. The religious beliefs of Native Americans varied by tribe but the concept of a "Great Spirit" was a pretty universal one. Navajos believed in "Mother Earth" and "Father Sky". If you're curious about Native American religion pick out a tribe and study it. Their religion was more closely tied to the rest of their life than religion is today. By the beginning of the 20th century most Native Americans had been converted to Christianity. Conversion was accomplished in large part by removing children from their family and tribe and sending them to boarding schools. Check out the video or the book called "The Education of Little Tree".
