There are many common and recurring elements in native American mythology from all over North, Central and South America.

Many include animals that think, speak and behave like humans; the humans interacting with these talking animals and being introduced to powerful spirit beings by them.

Tricksters are also common among many of the tribes - mischievous spirits whose sole aim is to behave badly and upset daily life (much like today's internet trolls).

Creation stories, folk heroes and tribal ancestors, explanations for natural phenomena and tales of heroic deeds in battle also featured regularly.
