I'm looking for a myth from which I can borrow. The specific elements I'm looking for include two peoples, one of which is created from the excrement of the other. Anyone got anything close?
::nod:: That one, I've heard. The Native American myths are accessible, not least because there's been so much scholarship devoted to them.
One of the more interesting facets of comparative mythology is the number of times a Coyote-like trickster figure appears. I may have to borrow that, too.
