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.
In the United States, Native Americans are considered to be people whose pre-Columbian ancestors were indigenous to the lands within the nation's modern boundaries.These peoples were composed of numerous distinct tribes, bands, and ethnic groups, and many of these groups survive intact today as sovereign nations.fter the thirteen colonies revolted against Great Britain and established the United States of America, President George Washington and Henry Knox conceived of the idea of civilizing Native Americans in preparation for assimilation as U.S. citizens.
