I presume it's better to select a few gods or goddesses from different cultures to depict their interaction, like Inca's El Dorado and Machu Piqchu, Navaho's skinwalker, the voodoo stemmed from Africa in Mississippi, Glooscap is a Vikings-contacted-with-Native Americans legend, the Inuit seems as exuberant as Aztec and Maya I was talking to my dad and he reminded me that the Native American mythology is TOO diverse. It’s like a game of Telephone, someone tells someone something but when THEY spread the word the story changes a little, over time each tribe has different forms of the same religion, much like the differences between Greek and Roman but instead of 2 forms(I’m going to call same gods in slightly different religions “forms”) it’s hundreds, maybe thousands!( DON’T quote me on that I don’t know how many Native American forms there are) This would result in the gods in a constant form of shifting froms like in the three books ok the Heroes of Olympus.

In some cases, it would also be controversial.
