What religion is the Omaha Indian tribe?

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.


What are facts about the Anasazi?

Alright, the Anasazi. I know they disappeared from Chaco Canyon in New Mexico a long time ago. There are many theories on how they disappeared. They also created the city of Pueblo Bonito, which is still there today. There was once a tree in Pueblo Bonito, a Pinerosa tree, which grows in the mountains. They must have spent a lot of time caring for it for religious purposes. Once it died, they must have left because they didn't think it was sacred anymore. Another reason is that they didn't feel that Chaco Canyon was the place for them to be, so they left and at every destination, they would yell "Haaku!". One day, they got an echo. So, they found that place ans settled there. They could have died by lack of water(?). They could have been forced away by their enemies. The Hopi, Acoma, and Zuni tribes claim to be their descendants. The "Haaku" theory had to do where the Acoma People live now. In the Alcheaic Period(sorry if I spelled that wrong), they hunted the deer and turkey almost to exctinction, so they had to live off of corn, beans ,and squash. Because of this diet, their children became shorter and shorter. Sometimes they would find a deer, and eat it. They had these tools called "Mano Metates" which are little stone grinders that they use to grind their corn. Since it was made of sandstone, the grit mixed in with the grinded-up corn so the would eat that and possibly, their teeth would fall out!! They also had little religious places underground or partially under that called kivas. In the Basket-maker Period, they lived in Pit Houses and before that they lived in caves. Kivas are like churchs to us and the anasazi had special indentions in them like sipapus, which the Hopi and Acoma tribes believe that their ancestors came out of the earth through a sipapu. They would have to carry circuar discs in the kiva that were VERY, VERY heavy. Sometimes they would drop these and the rock would cut of their fingers. So they could be toothless and fingerless. *shrugs* When they would beat against their foot-drums, and since the kiva is under ground with the only entrance was a ladder coming down from the roof, the sound would bounce against the walls and go right back into their ears. OUCH! So they possibly could be deaf. *shrugs* Hopefully you enjoyed that! If you visit Chaco Canyon, you can go see some petroglyphs they went behind! ;)
