Native Americans have always felt a special connection to nature. The belief that all things in nature have a spirit is an integral part of their religions. Like the Zuni, many tribes believe that animals are more powerful than people and more like deities than man. Adorning tools, artwork, and themselves with images and symbols of animals is one way of channeling the animal's spirit and acquiring its characteristics and powers. They may provide protection, enhance strength, or increase perception and awareness.
