If you are asking about the Native Americans, you're are trying to make a common bond out of millions of people spread over two continents. The estimated population in 1492 is  70,000,000. The range in climate, technology, language and different levels of civilization was enormous.

Most Native Americans held a deep belief in the supernatural. This included a respect for nature and the earth. This belief ranged from what Europeans mistakenly called the "Happy Hunting Grounds" to beliefs that all animals, plants and rocks held spirits.

Shamans, also called priests or medicine men were common. They were the wise men, religious leaders and doctors.

Most had tales of a culture hero and a trickster. These mythical beings could sometimes be combined. The culture hero was the one that gave the group the implements of their culture or saved them. The trickster was a being that through his cleverness often got himself into trouble. Both were used to instruct and explain.

Aboriginals everywhere, generally embrace new phenomenon, as welcome signs of natural change.

European religions basically believe that they are right, everyone else is wrong, and it's their duty to change the minds of those who don't believe, as they do!
