Each Nation has their own system of beliefs.  You'd do better to research them individually by Nation name (Cherokee, Navajo, etc.) and then look for similarities between all of them.

~Among the Montagnard people of the central highlands, the first and third born are always male.  Every female child born out of sequence is immediately smothered by the mother on delivery and the corpse is consumed by the village as part of a fertility ritual 3 days later, to aid the mother in  conceiving again.\nThe first born son, on his second birthday, is taken to the forest and left for three days.  The father retrieves him after the ordeal.  If the child survives, he is deemed worthy to inherit the family lands and property and is raised accordingly.\nThe second son is spared this ritual unless the first son proves unworthy and dies.  Assuming his brother has survived, the younger son is raised essentially as a vassal to the elder, it being the intention that he will fill his brother's sandals when the older boy dies.\nFemale children are raised basically to fulfill on of two functions.  They are either beasts of burden or baby makers.  The village wise men inspect female children between the ages of 8 and 18 months.  Those with the proper anatomical structure deemed appropriate for conception and childbearing are pampared and have to work the rice only half days, while their sisters are groomed to work the fields, and tend to the manual labor necessary to maintain the household and village.  Often, these otherwise useless children are sold to neighboring villages.\n\nChildhood games for the boys are centered around hunting and battle themes, as the boys will someday be required to provide the village with meat and defend it against attack from outsiders.  By the time they are 8 years old, the boys play these "games" with real weapons, and it is far from rare that children are killed by their playmates in the course of these games.   \n\nThe girls are prohibbited from playing games.  They are cast into their permantent roles as soon as they learn to walk, and by the age of 5, they can be seen lugging water jugs weighing up to 25 Kg from the village water source to their homes.  The 'breeders', by the age of 9, are 'instructed' by the village elders in the mechanics of reproduction.\n\nThere are many rituals and customs followed by the Montagnards, with whom my father lived for 4 years in the 60's (and one of whom he married),  but due to limited space, I cannot relate them here.  You should research them.  They are fascinating people.  My mother has become westernized to some extent, but she is appalled by the way westerners coddle their young.  Dad and I have tried to convince her to write a book about her people, but she refuses to do so.  To a Montagnard, sharing secrets of village life with outsiders in the past has led to the anihilation of entire villages by raiders and is taboo.

Part One\n(revised 2.28.96)\n\n\n[Note: This is a single part of what will be, by my classification, about 240 compact tribal histories (contact to 1900). It is limited to the lower 48 states of the U.S. but also includes those First Nations from Canada and Mexico that had important roles (Huron, Micmac, Assiniboine, etc.).\n\nAlthough this Cherokee history is larger than most, it's content and style are representative. The normal process at this point is to circulate an almost finished product among a peer group for comment and criticism.\n\nUsing the Internet, this can be more inclusive. Feel free to comment or suggest corrections via e-mail. Working together we can end some of the historical misinformation about Native Americans. You will find the ego at this end is standard size. Thanks for stopping by. I look forward to your comments...Lee Sultzman]\n\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nLocation\nOriginal: \n\nThe southern Appalachian Mountains: including western North and South Carolina, northern Georgia and Alabama, southwest Virginia, and the Cumberland Basin of Tennessee, Kentucky, and northern Alabama.\nCurrent: \nDistributed across the United States, but concentrated in eastern Oklahoma. The eastern Cherokee still maintain their reservation in western North Carolina. The Northern Cherokee Nation of the Old Louisiana Territory has almost 12,000 members and has been recognized by the State of Missouri. Other groups of Cherokee, like the 2,500 members of the North Alabama Cherokee, are located in Arkansas, Georgia, and Alabama but currently do not have federal recognition.\n\nPopulation\nEuropean epidemics introduced into the southeastern United States in 1540 by the Desoto expedition are estimated to have killed at least 75% of the original native population. How much the Cherokee suffered from this disaster in unknown, but their population in 1674 was about 50,000. A series of smallpox epidemics (1729, 1738, and 1753) cut this in half, and it remained fairly stable at about 25,000 until their removal to Oklahoma during the 1830s. The American Civil War was the next disaster and cost the Cherokee 25% of their population. No other group of Americans, red or white, suffered as severely during this conflict. The 1990 census listed 308,132 persons (15,000 full-blood) who identified themselves as Cherokee. Of these, 95,435 were concentrated in eastern Oklahoma while 10,114 eastern Cherokee lived on or near the North Carolina reservation. Cherokee tribal governments have fairly liberal membership standards, and some estimates exceed 370,000, which would make the Cherokee the largest Native American group in the United States.\n\n\nName\nThe most familiar name, Cherokee, comes from a Creek word "Chelokee" meaning "people of a different speech." In their own language the Cherokee originally called themselves the Aniyunwiya (or Anniyaya) "principal people" or the Keetoowah (or Anikituaghi, Anikituhwagi) "people of Kituhwa." Although they usually accept being called Cherokee, many prefer Tsalagi from their own name for the Cherokee Nation (Tsalagihi Ayili). Other names applied to the Cherokee have been: Allegheny (or Allegewi, Talligewi) (Delaware), Baniatho (Arapaho), Caáxi (or Cayaki) (Osage and Kansa), Chalaque (Spanish), Chilukki (dog people) (Choctaw and Chickasaw), Entarironnen (mountain people) (Huron), Gatohuá (Creek), Kittuwa (or Katowá) (Algonquin), Matera (or Manteran) (coming out of the ground) ( Catawba), Nation du Chien (French), Ochietarironnon (Wyandot), Oyatageronon (or Oyaudah, Uwatayoronon) (cave people) (Iroquois), Shanaki (Caddo), Shannakiak (Fox), Tcaike (Tonkawa), and Tcerokieco (Wichita).\n\n\nLanguage\nIroquian, but Cherokee differs significantly from other Iroquian languages.\n\n\nSub-tribes\n\nThe Cherokee have been divided into three divisions depending on location and dialect (east to west): \nLower

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."
