What are some good examples ofnative american mythology?
I'm doing a project for my 10th grade comp/genre. english class, and i was wondering what are the most interesting pieces of native american mythology?
There are several myths (I believe they are Navajo or one of the Pueblos) about the "Hero Twins." You could use them as a comparison to other works such as "David and Goliath" or "Jack and the Beanstalk."

Are there any good andaccurate books on NativeAmerican mythology?
I know that, historically, Native Americans were an oral people, but I was hoping that there were books on the myths that go into detail but retained the interest-factor.
Hundreds are available Here are a few to get you started that are exceptional in regard to your specific requirements: The Soul of an Indian, by Ohiyesa (C.A. Eastmann, a personal favorite) The Lakota Way, by Joseph Marshall III (A personal favorite) Mystic Warriors of the Plains ( a classic text - buy one if you can find it, it is sure to be a collector's item - incredible book) Black Elk Speaks ( a classic and a "must read") Crazy Horse by McMurtry (one of the greatest Americans in history) Blackfoot Lodge Tales Mythology of the Blackfoot Indians Through Dakota Eyes Fools Crow Seeing the White Buffalo The Ancient Child How to Take Part in Lakota Ceremonies The Pipe and Christ Although not specically about "mythology", everyone should read, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, by Dee Brown
