What is the name for Native American spirituality of religion?

Question

Ok, so does Native American Religion have a name? If so, what is it?

Answer 1

Well there are over 500 tribes and each has its own spirituality or religion. Many don't have a name for it, they just say something like "the way we do things" or "the way we are" Many tribes have several traditions or societies that each have their own name.

Answer 2

The most widespread religion at the present time is known as the Native American Church. It is a syncretistic church incorporating elements of native spiritual practice from a number of different tribes as well as symbolic elements from Christianity. Its main rite is the peyote ceremony. The church has had significant success in combating many of the ills brought by colonization, such as alcoholism and crime[citation needed]. In the American Southwest, especially New Mexico, a syncretism between the Catholicism brought by Spanish missionaries and the native religion is common; the religious drums, chants, and dances of the Pueblo people are regularly part of Masses at Santa Fe's Saint Francis Cathedral.[26] Native American-Catholic syncretism is also found elsewhere in the United States. (e.g., the National Kateri Tekakwitha Shrine in Fonda, New York and the National Shrine of the North American Martyrs in Auriesville, New York).

Native Americans are the only known ethnic group in the United States requiring a federal permit to practice their religion. The eagle feather law, (Title 50 Part 22 of the Code of Federal Regulations), stipulates that only individuals of certifiable Native American ancestry enrolled in a federally recognized tribe are legally authorized to obtain eagle feathers for religious or spiritual use. Native Americans and non-Native Americans frequently contest the value and validity of the eagle feather law, charging that the law is laden with discriminatory racial preferences and infringes on tribal sovereignty. The law does not allow Native Americans to give eagle feathers to non-Native Americans, a common modern and traditional practice. Many non-Native Americans have been adopted into Native American families, made tribal members and given eagle feathers.

Many Native Americans would describe their religious practices as a form of spirituality, rather than religion, although in practice the terms may sometimes be used interchangeably.

Answer 3

there have been/are many community American international locations and cultures with many diverse religions. Which one specifically do you recommend? merely assuming all of them had rituals to thank "mom Nature" is rather presumptuous. i'm a sprint skeptical which you "rather like the community individuals and how they are" in case you probably did not specify a tribe or possibly a area. greater such as you're enamored with the stereotype of community individuals. oftentimes, %. a tribe. upload the notice "faith" after it. it is the call of their faith. there is a lot of comparable religions around the Southeast and Mid-West talked approximately as the Southeastern Ceremonial complicated, and that's linked with the Mississippian cultures, which died out around 1650 simply by devastating effects of smallpox and measles.

Answer 4

It's referred to as "Native American spirituality" in general and each tribe has their own creation story etc. You'd have to look up individual peoples to find out their individual stories. Depends on which peoples you're most interested in is where you start.

Shamanism is also a native american spirituality

Answer 6

They are far too many different tribes/Nations with different beliefs, there is no one name and no one people. And (my guess) I don't think their spirituality has a name or label, it is just part of their culture in general. (Although many follow a form of Christianity now thanks to history, but that's a different topic.)

Answer 7

there are tons and tons of them. its like saying what are white religions or something.
