yes, Some of the Native American Tribes where I live still have Rituals such as the Jump Dance, White deerskin Dance, and more. The World Renewal tribes, as described by Kroeber in the "Indians of North America " book use these Rituals to heal the world of wrongness. They wear actual tribal regalia handed down for generations, and have the Rituals on Holy dance grounds still protected to this day. These tribes Karuk, Yurok, Hupa, still live on their original lands, some of these sites have been carbon dated back to 10,000 years.

Yes, they are still practiced today. I'm not sure how the practices have changed, if they have changed at all as I don't know a whole lot about them outside of what little I was taught when I was young. It's hard to find one in those religions who will share what the practices are.

In some cases the practices blended with catholic practices. So you might have tribal practices and catholic merged OR voodoo and catholic merged. I dont think that is a good thing. Yes there are many people groups which are almost untouched tribal groups in the world. The Warani tribe ( also known as Aucas ) were one. They were considered the most violent people ever existing and became Chrsitians and became peacable. That is a good thing. They rarely lived to be grandparents and now have had a much better quality of life.
