Native American Folklore
In response to Sunuvapreecher,,,
Because Cherokee tradition doesn't lend our people to recording our tales in writing (although we have some collections), they are hard to find but well worth the read.
Also, many Native American stories are more obscure.
One Cherokee tale that comes to mind is the legend of how Spider brought Fire. Another may include the Ants Who Pushed the Sky.
The Navajo have a traditional tale on Coyote and how he put the stars in the sky.
Cherokee stories can be found at http://www.cherokee.org
There's also a fabulous book that I'm reading: Fearless Girls, Wise Women and Beloved Sisters: Heroines in Folktales from Around the World by Kathleen Ragan, This can be found at Borders. Hope this helps.iN
