What was the predominant religion of Native Americans?

Im not sure how a samurai believes. I would think some native Americans are worshipping the same God we are. The creator of everything. I would think God would show a native american fellow the truth if he diligently sought it out. But as far as budah goes, i figure if there was ever a man named budah, who this religion was built on, and he lived and died, he is now in hell along with every "spiritual" budhist who died believing budah was the way. Im not sure what the indians believed about Jesus. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Light. No man will come to the father except by him. Alot of different religions have sent alot of different people to hell. If you have been saved, you know Jesus and you have his spirit living inside you. That is the connection. If you are not saved, there is no connection. I cant tell you if you are saved but you dang well know whether you are or not. A person being saved does not necessarily mean they have a healthy spiritual life or a good relationship with the Lord, that has to be cultivated. But if you are not saved, you do not have a spiritual life or a relationship with the Lord, other than one of creator/creation, not a personal relationship. I cant understand how anyone could read the Bible and feel any way except this way. But many do. I am 100% sure i am right. Enough to risk my life and the life of my children on it, enough to base everything i do in my life on it. And it has never let me down. 100% effective. It is the only thing i have ever tried that works.
