It is difficult to explain Native American religion because their belief system varies greatly from tribe to tribe and even family to family. Although, each one does tend to focus around nature, animals, plants, and other environmental elements. Many of the legends passed down attempt to explain events that have occurred in nature. I will focus on the beliefs of the Navajo and Cherokee tribes, which are the two largest tribes in America. I will be explaining not only beliefs, but also the culture, customs, and practices within both tribes.
