Native American Spirituality

A resource on Native American Spirituality

Native American Spirituality

The main theme that underscores the Native American Spirituality is the honoring of Mother Earth and the coexistence of life with nature and animals. All of nature is intertwined, connected and animated. The telling of legends and myths throughout time were an important way to personify the mysterious workings of The Great Spirit.

Ceremonies and rituals like Dance, drumming and Temazcal Sweat Lodge play an important role in Native American Spirituality.

"The rainbow symbolizes fresh spirit of life, and from the rainbow little flames of knowledge fall. Where they land, flowers grow."
Ed McGaa, Eagle Man
