I think a good chunk of native American folklore has become integrated into the general folklore of modern America
Everyone knows what a sasquatch is. And a big chunk know what skinwalkers and wendigo are.
I live in the Appalaichan mountains, so you hear all kinds of folklore, from monsters to hauntings and faery lights.
When is the last TV or film that you can think of that used that lore? I can think of some from like twenty years ago, but say something from the last five years?
The Hallow uses Lore.
As does Troll Hunter, Rare Exports, Thale, and Draug.
All using Native American lore? If you are sure, I will take your word.
Oh never mind. I didn’t see your use of the word “that.”

For MMO, my guess is only one: Master of Orion 2 universe. Stop it, it's older than Burgersaur! Wait wait. It could be space mmo where you pick your own race. First surprise: you have certain points given. And you must choose positive AND negative aspects for your race. Good space combat - and, for example, lame ground combat. Superior spies - yet lousy diplomats. Excellent at industry - absolute fails in agriculture etc. Second surprise: you have to discover blueprints for anything, except basic. Third surprise: each race has love-hate relationships with others. Your Sakkra may be in hate with Psilon; Human may just hate evil Silicoid, but love Alkari etc. Fourth surprise: each unit costs certain points to maintain. No points, no units - or you must increase taxes. Increasing taxes lowers research. Fifth surprise: conquered planet won't surrender, it may try to liberate. That's where racial relations and form of government comes into play. Autocratic society may be subdued by totalitarian with ease; democratic society - not so. Sixth surprise: some uber-race, always hostile that choses to attack the strongest. Their ships are over-powered, using unreaseachable technologies, extremely hard to capture.

No prob, I guess we should be grateful they use any lore at all.

Since I watched it I thought a Mesoamerica world would be really cool.
Especially using a macuahuitl
