They might, if Russia were dumping bodies on the moon, and if the Russian government had set as policy their intent to take the religious practices of native Americans into consideration when forming policy. But given that neither is true regarding Russia, while both are true regarding the US, your clarification makes little sense. Obviously no one is going to listen to the Navajo. But to consider it nonsensical that the Navajo would even expect their religion to be taken seriously seems a bit infantilizing. It's no more or less ridiculous than opposing stem-cell research or abortion out of Christian beliefs in the human soul.
