The belief that everything around us has a spirit is what indigenous religions have in common. In the first video you can see how Pocahontas is talking to a tree, and it tells her that everything around her has a spirit.The next video shows an scene from the animated movie Peter Pan where Indians are dancing and singing. Indigenous Religions use dance as a way of telling stories of their ancestors and community and also to ask their gods for things such as a good harvest or rain and they also dance to please and thank their gods.
Piercing our bodies is something very popular in today's world. In the Mayan Religion, to pierce their bodies was a way of offering blood to their gods.
