Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Native Americans had a strong belief in the interconnectedness of all living things, and viewed nature as sacred. They believed that all living things, including plants and animals, had a spirit or life force, and were to be respected and protected. Therefore, they tended to view nature with reverence and respect, rather than simply as a resource to be used or exploited.
