Is Native American religion one of the major recognized religions of the Americas?

There are many upon many Native American bloodlines, in the Americas. Every American Native bloodline has a unique way of life, not religion, passed down unto them generation after generation. Native American was the only way before the white man came. The only way, was made up of many ways. Many Native American bloodlines have been set into extinction, through slaughter, forced migration onto barren lands, mass and selected sterilization, subjected to fatal diseases, etc. For the few remaining bloodlines, tracing back to the original way of life has been a struggle. There are many successful bloodlines that have reunited themselves with the unique way of life and incorporate every day with this way. To be sure, Native Americans never had religion, rather a way of life. Therefore, if it is not recognized as a religion it will surely never be recognized as a majority religion, in the Americas.
