>Native American literature

You want folklore about a 3 centuries old country, while there're 30 centries old ones.

I really liked the rough faced girl.
and how the raven stole the sun, but those are both children's books.

The USA is a 3 centuries old country. But op asked about Native American literature not the USA.

Native American stories are stories told from generation to generation.

I can think of only one book that has NA-ish folklore in it but it isn't concerned solely with it nor was it written by one.

OP here. I guess I was hoping for oral stories put into text. Or even literature on the tribes, their history, and their folklore.

Not necessarily just their folklore. Sorry I wasn't more succinct in what I am looking for.

Tlingit have a prohibition on telling anyone else's story, so good luck with that.

I've read this book, it's a pretty good collection IMO. I'm not a Native American historian or anything, but from my middling knowledge the texts seem to be well selected, translated, and organized. Is it literature? I don't know. Mythology definitely. I stole it from some hippie commune house my ex-gf used to live in. I've gotten some good mileage out of it.

Giving Birth to Thunder Sleeping with His Daughter. A collection of Coyote stories gathered from.around the New World.
