Persons interested in learning about Native American subjects must first avoid certain fundamental practices, one of which is not to group all Native Americans together as though they had no cultural diversity. Your question would be akin to asking ‘In general, which cultural practice (language, religion, custom, etc.) do Europeans feel is most important in preserving their identity?’ You can see that the English would not be able to answer for Germans, and Italians would not be able to answer for the French. As well, no one would be able to answer for all the groups: the English, Germans, French, Italians, etc. To ask such a question would be to group them together as though they were all the same, something done upon Native Americans with no recognition of their cultural diversity. So the short answer is: ask this question by specific cultural group. Thanks!
