What does it mean for the idea that near death experiences are actual experiences of an afterlife? And at the same time, does it support claims that they're just the dying brain and a burst of energy activity at the end of life or whatever?

The Life of Native American People missionaries were trying to convert Native American peoples to Christianity. They recorded examples of Native American afterlife beliefs. The Native Americans prioritized personal experience over foreign Christian ideas. It took a while for them to embrace Christianity, and many still haven't. The life of Native American people prior to contact with Europeans was largely based on a spiritual connection with the land, animals and plants. They believed in the interconnectedness of all living things. They shared their land and resources with one another and respected the environment. Native Americans had a variety of spiritual beliefs that varied between tribes. Some believed in a Creator, while others believed in multiple gods. They also believed in the Great Spirit, a higher power that connected the spiritual and physical worlds. In terms of social structure, Native American tribes were often organized in bands, which were comprised of extended family members. The most important person in a band was usually the Chief, who made decisions and mediated disputes. The Chief was assisted by other tribal members such as shamans, medicine men and spiritual leaders. The members of the band had to work together to ensure their survival and to maintain harmony among their people. Native Americans were also known for their artistry and craftsmanship. They created beautiful artwork, jewelry, pottery and clothing that often reflected their spiritual beliefs. They also had an extensive trading network, which allowed them to exchange goods and resources with other tribes. Today, Native American people are still trying to preserve their culture and traditions.
