they had - many tribes have legends and tales centered around a figure of peace who came and spoke to them, taught them, blessed them, and promised to return again [one of the reasons the spanish were welcomed by the indians]. some of the southwestern tribes have traditions & coming of age ceremonies which are rife with symbolism of Jesus Christ.
