Are there Aboriginal American myths/legends about Changelings?

Are there Aboriginal American myths or legends about Changelings, human children who are stolen and replaced with non-human children? Preferably, originating from groups that lived in the Midwest of the USA.

I've searched on google, but searching for "changeling" brings up a lot of stuff about "changeling: the dreaming," which is not helpful, and asked a research librarian I know.

Stories about children being flat out stolen, or stolen and eaten, are interesting but I specifically want to know if there's stories about children being REPLACED.

Thanks in advance.
