Hello Bob C
I enjoyed reading your impressions of native spirituality.
It's been said, anywhere on the globe that people make their living directly from the natural world, we see that they incorporate animism and totemism into their spirituality.
Once farming begins, spirituality fundamentally changes. Once farming begins, you no longer need a spiritual life just to survive.
Even an atheist can be a farmer. Farming allows a person to eat, without being spiritually connected to things.
