A textbook claims, "all [Native American societies] shared a fundamentally religious outlook that emphasized the centrality of a Creator, a reverence for the natural world, and a belief that human beings were a part of nature and were obligated to preserve and protect it." Is this actually true?

The quote is specifically about pre-Columbian Native American religion (I ran out of characters or else I would have specified in the title). The book is Ken Cushner's Human Diversity in Education. Seems like an extremely broad claim and the writer says some questionable things elsewhere so I am somewhat doubtful of this.
