How did the Plains Indians contact the spirit world?

In: Religion & Spirituality, Native American History, Sioux Indians [Edit categories]

Answer:

I may be wrong but most if not all Indiginous Americans believe in the Great White Spirit whose messages are sent via the "circling winds".

Answer. I would correct "Great White Spirit", presuming you meant to say Great Spirit, meaning God, Great One Above All Things, Creator, Mundu or any of the numerous ways we have of referring to God.

The spirits would contact you through many ways including visions, dreams, instinct etc. You could also meditate and listen for messages from the spirit world.
