* [[Continuity Snarl]]: No tribe's mythology has an established canon.
* [[Creation Myth]]: Done to hilarious extremes in that many cultures have multiple creation myths.
* [[Deal with the Devil]]: Uncegila, Uncegila, Uncegila. For those not familiar, Uncegila is a sea monster whose look can kill. Initially, the victim is [[Eye Scream|blinded]]. A day later, he [[Go Mad
* [[Depraved Bisexual]]: Iktomi. Oddly, his most depraved behavior is with women.
* [[Did Godzilla Just Punch Out Cthulhu]]: Wakinyan versus Unktehi. Bonus points because the Unktehi and Uncegila have a water motif.
* [[Did We Just Have Tea with Cthulhu?]]: Winkte (with the double woman) and heyoka (with the Wakinyan) do this in their visions.
* [[Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?]]: Since plains warriors have a habit of [[Calling Your Attacks|announcing their deeds]], they tend to do this when fighting monsters too.
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: While the [[Did Godzilla Just Punch Out Cthulhu|Wakinyan take out the Unktehi]], humans take out Uncegila.

** In some versions, he borrows someone else's.
* [[Genius Loci]]: Constantly. Many areas are sacred or taboo because of such.
* [[Go Mad
* [[Hijacked by Jesus]]: To use a Lakota example, Wakinyan (thunder) became angels, Wohpe became the Virgin Mary, and the Pipe became Christ. Many Indians follow a mixture of tradition, Christianity, the peyote ceremony (largely Christian-based), and the Ghost Dance (which has Mormon influences).
* [[Ho Yay]]: Look up 'winkte'. Also other examples.
Line 91:
* [[Adam and Eve Plot]]: Common to any origin tales.
* [[Badass Long Hair]]: Are you a plains Indian male with a traditional haircut? This is you.
* [[Biggus Dickus]]
* [[Canon Discontinuity]]: The "matriarchal" Sioux when complete matriarchy doesn't exist.
* [[Everything's Worse with Bears]]: The [[Origin Story]] of [[wikipedia:Devils Tower National Monument|Devil's Tower]] in Wyoming involves one or more gigantic bears trying to kill frightened children and the Creator raising the tower up under the kids to save them.
