As usually I babbled on and didn't really answer the question asked. I'll try to do it without rambling....
I think all people of the earth knew Creator before, during and after the messages of Jesus were brought to them. Without going into detail... its about time and space consciousness. eeks... stopping a temptation to ramble.....
Some aspects of native spirituality do involve 'bad spirits'. Medicines and ceremonies can be used for good or for evil. This isn't exclusive to native spirituality. ... breaks on the babble....
God asks us to turn from our evil ways not to turn away those who may practise evil or be lost in evil clutches.
I honour my ancestors in all that I do, think and feel wherever I am at. They live in me in spirit and in deed. They guide me and strengthen me. I don't practise rituals where they are not welcomed or understood but with or without ritual I am honouring my ancestors by honour our Creator and carrying on the faith for other generations.
I see my ancestors and loved ones now in spirit but will be free in spirit to walk and talk and play with them when my life time on earth has run its course.
In heaven, paradise, the great hunting grounds in the sky.... perfection as each of us imagines .... that place where we are all spirit.... all perfect.... all peaceful..... beyond imaginings.... preparing for another chapter in our eternal life story.
