I definitely imagine they would have a similar tale ... In my area, the Southern Arapaho and Cheyenne are the dominant tribes, and a Southern Arapaho chief from the 1800s has a famous "curse", which has gotten turned into a catchy name for cocktails and the like. "Niwot's Curse" says, "People seeing the beauty of this valley will want to say, and their staying will be the undoing of the beauty." Of course the message is overlooked now in favor of it being an appealing part of the Colorado brand luring people here. The irony ...
The Lakota have no written language. Maybe there’s a tale similar to your writings, which serve as a testament to the enshittification of our habitat.
