Jody-
If you will look into it, you will see that Native American spiritual tradition
has no "evangelical" component, no equivalent to "go forth and spread the
word", no "go forth and teach others" etc as the traditions you mention below
do. Native Americans have never wanted to "convert" others to their way, it's
not part of their mindset. And in fact, there are many other traditions that
have no "evangelical" component as well.
