No problem. What's funny is that I am a North American Native and a student of God's Word. Natives worship one God, The Great Spirit, but recognize God's spirit within all of His creation and design. They may not have gotten everything right, but they knew there was something much larger than themselves.

However, I do not agree with the Mormon's, who believe that the Natives are descended from the Israelites or are the 'lost tribe' of Israel. This world and its people have had atrocities and though God must respect the free will of evil people, He can always take what was meant for evil and make its purpose and result as something good.

The Native Americans had atrocities committed against them, but for me, imho, it was God's way of bringing the gospel to them so that they, too, could be saved. It is honestly the ONLY good thing to come out of their history since the white man came. Because it sure isn't their way of life as all it has brought is misery, greed and a loss of America's natural beauty given us from that Great Spirit, our God.

People wonder about the Native peoples before the gospel came, but God is a most wondrous God and as they sought Him out in their own primitive way, I believe He spoke to them through His creation so that they humbled themselves before Him and He accepted them through that humbling faith as He has done for all who came before the sacrifice of Christ. God, Himself tells us that since the beginning of the world, His divine nature and presence was obvious and that man has no excuse, this means that even the heathen has no excuse not to know Him.

Romans 1:20

20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.

I believe the Native peoples of the world have done well in their recognition of God, as seen and experienced throughout His creation and God will not allow any to perish without having known Him, even in this way.

And this goes for all peoples who lived before the saving grace of Christ, and woe to those who HAVE had Christ, Himself, the prophets and Apostles and God's Holy Word and still do NOT acknowledge Him.

Tell me, who would God recognize more worthy in such a scheme; us today with all we know, compared to those we may deem 'heathens', who actually sought Him out and accepted Him without any other clue accept His creation? Yes, God is indeed fair and just.
