Why didn't Jesus (or the Jewish God for that matter) reveal himself to the Indians - or to other indigenous peoples in Australia, Africa, Asia?
Did the Indians that died before white people came all go to Hell?
Maybe because He lived His whole 33 years in the Middle East and there were no Indians there?
But, He did leave His record and testimony, as reported by numerous eye-witnesses, which has covered the world, including Native American's. It's called "The New Testament." It's timeless and for all people in all times. Christianity is the dominant religion among American Indians, so it must have been sufficient to meet their needs, don't you think?
And, no, they didn't go to hell any more than does anyone else who ever died without hearing the Word.

maybe i don't really qualify to answer this question.
yet it did pop up ever so often in my mind, given the circumstances of education and upbringing.
he may have revealed himself to all those whom you name here. were it not for "missionaries", political zealots and other intelligences with doubtful purposes and hidden agendas.
imho, you could just as well ask for the evolution of the subconscious mind separate from the consciousness everyone is free to claim for themselves today.
Christianity is NOT the dominant religion amongst us!

Are you KIDDING ME?? Christianity most certainly is NOT dominant amongst us , we have kept and continue to keep our spirituality thank you! There are a few that practice your religion, but the majority of us reject it
The question was why didn't Jesus appear to us....we didn't need him to appear to us, we have our way to the Creator, we were and are happy with our own sprituality and we do NOT share it with anyone, anything you read on the internet about our spirituality is from white people who THINK they know about our spirituality, we keep that very sacred and very private and it will stay that way!
