Answer:

Early European colonists describe specific Native American tribes and even small bands as each holding their religious practices. Theology may be monotheistic, polytheistic, henotheistic, animistic, shamanistic, pantheistic and any combination thereof, among others.

Important features present in many Native American beliefs include the value of dance and song in ritual performance, a reverence for particular plants, animals, places, and things, the ritual practice of tobacco, and the importance of the four directions.

Step-by-step explanation:
