I’m looking for a book of Native American mythology and stories. I’m not sure if it exists, but the culture and mythology fascinates me and I’d love to learn more.
There are many many books on this. But you might want to narrow it down a bit because, from Mexico to Alaska, there are many different Indigenous cultures, nations, languages, and mythologies in the vast continent of N. America, just as there are in the vast continent of Europe. One novel that springs to mind is Eden Robinson’s Monkey Beach. You might also like Cherie Dimaline’s the Marrow Thieves. Neither are just mythology though. One is set in the 1980s, and one is set in a dystopic, near future. Both incorporate mythology though.
