On Sundays and other holy days of obligation the faithful are bound to participate in the Mass; they are also to abstain from those labors and business concerns which impede the worship to be rendered to God, the joy which is proper to the Lord's Day, or the proper relaxation of mind and body. Canon 1248.
Lately, the question was asked, âDo Native Americans believe in God?â As someone who has studied Native American culture, lived in communities with Native Americans and have a little Indian ancestry myself, I can assure you that yes, it is common for Native Americans to believe in God. Not only do Americaâs churches have Native Americans in their congregations, but most of Americaâs Indian tribes throughout history have had strong âspiritualâ components. However, Native Americans didnât (and often still donât) believe in God the same way as Europeans who colonized the New World.
Most Native American tribes have traditions about health and illness. In this fact sheet the term Native American is meant to include Native Americans and Alaska Natives. These traditions are not based on western science.Instead, they come from the tribeâs beliefs about how individuals fit in the web of life. This web includes the tribe, all humanity, the earth, and the universe.ative American traditional healing is a holistic approach to health. Each tribe has its own healing traditions. Traditional healers do not follow a standard procedure.
