So were the Native Americans. They just didn’t know it before the declaration was read to them in Spanish.

Well you are going to have to say what native Americans you are talking about. There are vast differences in different tribes, and even bigger differences in South America.

Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are all Abrahamic religions. They originate from the Middle east and all correlate to the Old Testament. Christianity believes in the New Testaments, Judaism does not, Islam believes in the New Testaments as well as their Qu’ ran. Native American Religions have nothing at all to do with the Abrahamic God, or the Bible. There were a Myriad of different beliefs depending on what part of the Americas each tribe was from. My own ancestors (the Lakota Sioux) tended to worship Wakan Takan who is basically a Sun God. You mention early Native Americans what time period are you talking about and what area? It is hard to be more specific without that info.

Jonothan, You obviously have very little real knowledge about any religion but your own. You label everything that doesnt agree with your mindset as Satanic. That my friend is a Cop out. It requires absolutely no thought whatsoever. Please read about others religions it helps you understand People so much better. Heck i dont even have a Religion but i like to know the mindset of those who do and what they believe. Open your mind. or is that Satanic too?

I have found that Christianity, Judaism and Islam rely for the most part on written words in the hand of Man.

Native Americans relied on Heart and soul the windows to their Great Creator.

Answer by Premaholic
The Native Americans respected Life in all forms of the Nature, as gifts from the Great Spirit. Anything taken by the Indians was asked for, Taken and celebrated, and then all parts were used with no waste. They Lived more in touch with the Spirit aspect of all things including themselves.

Well Judaism, Jehovah Witness, Roman Catholicism, Hinduism, Mormanism, Satanism, Wiccans are all basically going to come together into the religion of freemasonry. Native Americans were into witchcraft and the occult, so there is very little diference between that and all of the religions I already mentioned. As far as Islam, it is a religion based on a vision of Muhammad which was satantic, so it is not that much different then Native American religion either.

Finally you have Christianity which is based on the truth, found in Jesus Christ, which is compltelty different then all other relgions. Why? Because sin was dealt with, and God became a man. All the other religions were formed only to destroy this truth.

This REALLY depends on the tribe.

Take my Lakota ‘cousin’ there.

My people eat fish, they have their own ideas about fish and will not eat them. It also depends on the Clan or Lodge you belong to.

Within my own tribe there is a clan that will not eat bear meat, where my clan WILL.

Your really going to have to narrow things down a bit. ok, quite a bit.

Thomass, please ignore Jonathan’s answer. His views appear to be rather limited.

Native American and their assorted beliefs have nothing to do with witchcraft or devils. Angels and Devils are Abrahamic concepts, as are Heavens and Hells.

It’s difficult to try to pull all Native American beliefs under one umbrella since there are so many separate Nations. It is even more so since millions have died at the hands of those spreading the word of Abraham’s God. Native Americans were so different that they were killed for not sharing the same beliefs as, for instance, Christians.

Native American belief structures tended to be wholistic and is based on the idea that ALL is related. This not only includes humanity but also includes the environment such as trees, plants, water, air, fire, and all other living things like four legged animals, winged creatures, creatures that crawl on their bellies, creatures that swim, stars, moon, sun. It was not enough to be respectful of one another but to be respectful to all things.
