I always enjoyed Charles Montgomery Skinner's "Myths and Legends of Our Own Land," which is available, at:

onlinebooks.library.upenn...p?num=6615 (http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/webbin/gutbook/lookup?num=6615)

Any particular legends? Myths? Tribes?

I think Cambell covered a lot of American Indian myths in one of his books. I'd search the book stores for it.

If the Hopi legend I read on that site is any indication...we've got a problem here.

Go to:

Native American Resources (http://cobalt.lang.osaka-u.ac.jp/~krkvls/naindex.html)

Native Web (http://www.nativeweb.org)

for authentic info from Native Americans.
