Secularism affected the Native American Indian tribe's culture and beliefs in that secularism completely tried to change the perspective of life and belief systems the Indian had, at the moment white Europeans colonized the North American territory.

Something similar happened with the Mesoamerican Indian tribes and the Spanish conquerors. Spain sent missions to evangelize the Indians into the Catholic Church dogma.

Secularization tried to change the paradigms of the Native Indians regarding natural resources, but it has practically minimum results. Native Indians always believed that Mother Nature provided everything they need to live and that is why they respected and honored nature with dances and chants. That is the reason why they opposed giving their lands to white settlers to be exploited in order to get profits.
