They were never sent a prophet from my understanding. Will they go to hell or what. What do Christians believe will happen to them?

God will decide, knowing that they never received the message of Islam, and God is Just and Kind.

I don't know. But as far as I know the Natives for the most part are very peaceful people. I don't see them committing half the atrocities the rest of the "God fearing, God loving" people do. Perhaps God, whether you believe it's Allah, God, or anything else will deal with them in a different way that we know nothing of. In my religion, which is Islam, I am taught through the Qur'an that God does not judge through your words or what you call yourself, or what book you read, or what religious beliefs you have, but rather through your actions and intentions. What difference does it make if you were of the people who believe in a Prophet but do nothing to make this world a better place for one another?

Most of them (from what I've known) have their own spirituality and religion that is very different from christianity and islam. It is somewhat comparable to ancient Egyptian religion.
Just because they have a different god(s) that they believe in, doesn't mean that we hate them or look down on them in any way.
Just because they were never sent a prophet doesn't mean that they will go to hell. I think it would be ignorant to assume so, and ignorant to assume that just because someone is of a different religion, that they will go to hell.
If respect for all religions was taught to all religions, I think the world would be in much better shape.

Assalamu 'Alaikum,
How will Muslims be punished, if they do not adhere to the laws within the Qur'an?
Find fault with no one, do not find fault with non-believers.
Allah (SWT) is the judge of the heart of man.
Muhammad (PBUH) was a Prophet sent for all mankind.
Anyone that surrenders his or her heart to Allah (SWT) is shown the "Grace of Allah (SWT)".
Muslims within Islam must worry about their own fate!
Salaams,

You forget about Joseph Smith and where he got his Book of Mormon from. Jesus Christ according to Mormonism came amongst the native tribes of the Americas "after" he arose and went amongst "other" tribes. I am 1/4 Apache, 1/4 Aztec and know some beliefs do go back to a "teacher" from the sky who taught at one time. Whether it was Jesus, can't say as I can not speak for my ancestors......

According to the very historically accurate...(ha ha, I couldn't write that without laughing.) Book of Mormon, Jesus decided to go on vacation in America after being crucified.
Funny, every time I'm crucified I just want to lie around for like forever.

The Allah of the Koran would probably send terrorist after them.
Many Native Americans are born again Christians. If they have confessed Jesus Christ their Lord & Savior & believed in their heart He raised from the dead, then they will go to heaven to be with the Lord. It is written in the bible that to be absent from this body is to be present with the Lord (our soul/spirit goes to be with the Lord).
Personally. I believe that if someone wasn't presented the Gospel correctly (with the Holy Spirit & Gods Love) then that person will go to place of rest. Just not heaven. Heaven is for those whose sins are atoned for. As for as people who reject Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God when presented to them correctly, then hell. Examples. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4136610474021109864&q=rawlings .
Also, children (before age of accountability & rebelling against God) from all nations are an example of the Kingdom of God so go to heaven. Because every child born into this world has seen the True Light. And they are a body, soul & conscience. And their Angels do behold the Father God & also guide the children through their conscience. Jesus did complare the children who loved Him like the Kingdom of Heaven. And also, when we are like a child again & believe in Jesus Christ, then we are born of His Spirit & are part of the Kingdom of God.

Christians sent their loving message of rape and murder to the Native Americans. They also forced them off their land.

The Native Americans(red man) was created in Genesis 1:27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth
,along with the"other races", or "innocent people".(non- Hebrew). Adam was created in Genesis 2:7And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
8And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
9And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
,to be placed in the Garden of Eden(Jew blood-line) in which our Lord and Savior was to come. When Cain killed able,he wondered into the land of Nod Genesis 4:14Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.
15And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
16And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
(different races),and mixed with them,found his wife,and thought them how to build a city. Cain,had knowledge from his parents Adam & Eve,because they ate from the tree of knowledge.
Noahs flood did not flood the entire world,but only Noah's world. If, all you knew were Chicago at that time,then you would say "my world"(Chicago) is going to be flooded.That is why scientist are still finding new fossile's,species etc... And,this explains the aboringines.
So,the American native people were innocent,excluded from Judgement.They are in Heaven.
