Yes. I believe that all gods are really one in the same God as called by various languages.
God doesn't go by different names, people just call God by different names. This is no more mystical then calling a rose by it's name in another language.
Then there are lesser gods who are called "Angels" by many people these days. 'Angel,' by the way, literally Translates as "little god" and are divided into several races. These include Faeries, will-o-wisps, Divas, even devils and demons, etc. (This by the way is why the Christians' Bible says to test the spirits and doesn't out and out say to condemn other peoples religions as is so common among Christians (sic) today).
As far as Native American Indians go, there are over 1,500 Religions in North America alone. And almost as many different concepts about God. The concept of God among Native Peoples is generally accepted as an individual perception. Sense the birth of Inter-Tribal Religions such as the Ghost Dance Movement and Native American Church this belief has been made even stronger. The concept is that, like everything else, each person will have their own perception of God and this is personal and not to be argued over but Respected. More over persons are free in Native society to explore the Spirit and many religions of the world as we are guided. Arguing over theology is considered one of the most blasphemous things one can do, it is effectively considered 'Idolatry of the Mind,' where a person worships their concept of God over the true God; as is so commonly found in non-native religions. This is why there is no history of Holy Wars among Native American Indians.
Some gods are regional some are not. It all depends on the Spirit(s) one is working with. Most tribes are basically Monotheist with a blend of Animism or tend to be some what Pantheist. It's not a belief that things are relative it is a belief that all things are inter-related and each of us See's the world through our own personal filter.

Maybe, not all Native Americans believe in the same God as there are different tribes. There are also multiple gods/goddess' in some beliefs.

Uh, NO.
The GOD that created heaven and earth, the same GOD who created you and me...IS the only GOD. He is LIVING. All other gods...they're either DEAD, or do not exist. They've been made into gods by man. They can not and will not ever do what GOD can do for you. Open a Bible. You'll find what your looking for in there. Plus, a lot more. All truth. No lies. Promise.

Oh of course All the False Gods are one and the same they are just Demons of Hell posing as 'gods" to trick you from believeing in the ONE TRUE GOD, the God of the Christian Bible.

I believe all gods are one god, they're just different aspects of the being. When I look at God, I see Lugh, Isis, Brigid, Cernnunos, Odin, and many other Pagan gods. When a Christian looks at God, he sees Christ. Others see Budda, or Allah, etc. But we are all looking at God. All gods are one God. Blessed be.

Personally i think 'gods' are symbolism. Don't get me wrong, i think symbols have a lot of power, but 'God' cannot be understood or explained in human terminology.

I believe that all gods are silly superstitions.
