Are Native American religions best described as monotheistic polytheistic or monistic?
The natives of North America were not a single bloc of spiritual belief.
Religions of the first nations peoples before the European conquest range from the monotheistic (Iroquois) to the ploytheistic (Aztec). There was also a fair amount of pantheism (god in everything)
One problem is that much of the initial descriptions of the spiritual side of thes peoples was written by the conquerors who has their own biased outlook. Aztec texts were burned, native spirituality was crushed. Pesent beliefs may be contaminated to some extent by borrowed pieces of Christianity.

What is the practice of worshipping many gods?
In modern society, Hinduism, Buddhism, Wicca and Taoism are the best examples of a functioning polytheism. However, many older religions can also be considered polytheistic. The word 'polytheistic' derives from Greek and literally means "many gods". Thus, any religion that reveres many gods instead of one all-powerful god is polytheistic. In general, polytheistic religions are extremely old, by which I mean people mostly only practiced them a long time ago, and most have since died out. We've come to know these dead religions as mythology, yet Ancient Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Norse and Sumerian cultures all took these myths extremely seriously. Eventually, the spread of monotheism (ie:Christianity, Islam, Judaism) gained momentum and converted or persecuted all but a few of the old polytheists.
