Native American Manifestations of God

 We do not have any specific references to the American prophets and Manifestations in our scriptures. But as a general principle, the Qur'an and the Babi and Baha'i Writings make it very clear that prophets were sent to all the peoples of the Earth:

"...there never was a people to whom a prophet was not sent."

- Qur'an 35:24

Now we cannot, of course, add any names to the officially-recognized list of Baha'i Manifestations (the door of adding official doctrine and interpretation to the Faith closed with the passing of the Guardian in 1957). But as individual Baha'is, we are certainly free to believe that the great prophets of the Americas, like Deganawida, were in fact Manifestations sent to the native peoples of this continent. This is my own personal view, and that of many Baha'is I have read and spoken with.
