This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Not sure if it's been mentioned by 2nd edition AD&D had some articles in Dragon (207 or 8?) about Native American culture as a gaming world. Along with a few adventures  in Dungeon and the 1st edition DDG you've got a framework, but that is a bit more of a heavy lift than an actual sourcebook.

I found an old thread over on the big purple where I had asked about it. Supposedly the system is "narrativist", so not something you would like. I did get it, but mostly because I was told the book has more devoted to the setting than the system, so it could likely be lifted out for use with another system.

Charon's Little Helper

Not an RPG - but the anime Braves of the Six Flowers had a definite Mayan/Aztec vibe. Not the best show - it started off very generic but ended up being an interesting sort of who-done-it.

I remember thinking that the setting would definitely fit an RPG, since the characters were basically a group of adventurers (who were all suspicious of one-another).
