Spiritual beliefs of an American Indian?

Answer 1

The Pueblo Indians believed that the katchina (their name for god(s) as they had several) controlled everything in life. When an individual put on the garments and head of one of the katchina, in a spiritual sense he became that katchina. Such observances were held at certain times of the year to bring the people together to pray for the things needed for life. Some of the katchina represent different aspects of ourselves, for example the "clown" who will go around teasing people and just generally clowning around: the purpose of this particular katchina is to remind us not to take ourselves too seriously, but rather to find humor in all aspects of life.

Answer 2

They vary as there are many Native peoples. I'm aware of a Great Spirit, respect for nature, gratitude for living beings who have to die to help us live--

Many native people have also become Christian or follow other beliefs such as Buddhism.

Answer 3

The spiritual beliefs of the American Indian were as varied as their tribe. Some believed in one great spirit, while others believed in more than one. Very broadly, everything in their lives was based upon their beliefs in their God(s). Unlike theocracies, however, for the most part, it was a way of life they chose to live. In general, they believed in the spirit world, the animal world and the physical world - that they were all connected. There can be no specifics as each tribe, nation and sometimes clan could vary dramatically.
