In 1621, Native American religions were diverse and often rooted in animism, emphasizing harmony with nature and the spiritual significance of all living things.
But some of the biggest festivals occurred around harvest time.
This was a time to give thanks to the gods for a bountiful harvest and to celebrate the success of another growing season.
There were many different types of harvest festivals, but the biggest three were Lammas, Mabon, and Samhain – each honoring different gods and celebrating different parts of the harvest and the changing of the seasons.
...
Although harvest deities varied from tribe to tribe, many Native American cultures paid homage to "creator gods" that were believed to have helped the Great Spirit complete the earth in its physical form. One such creator god was the Earth Mother, who some tribes believed was the one to bring corn – a harvest staple – to the Native peoples.
