Native Americans understood their symbiotic relationship to the land, and their stories, myths, and believes reflect this relationship. For instance a local mountain appeared to be 'blue' and it was incorporated into the stories of the tribe to reflect its significant (odd) appearance.

It depends on if you are asking if they "have" myths or if they "had" myths. Also, you shouldn't really be talking about the Greek and Native American religions as "myths". In that situation, the Christians, Jewish, Islam, Hindu, Shinto, and every other religion in the world have myths. But mostly, the Celtic people had what you would consider "myths", as did the Nordic Vikings and the Romans.

Myths originated as oral traditions passed down through generations in various cultures. They often served as explanations for natural phenomena, customs, beliefs, and the origins of the world or specific societies. Over time, myths were collected and recorded in written form, contributing to the rich tapestry of world mythology.
