I have come across last year with The Listener, from the Seneca people and a beautiful rendition from Martin Shaw is available on YT.

It's a hero's journey but that started with a deep nurture of Yin energy and how he earn authority and power through just being in the woods with no agenda and all comes full circle in the end. It has many intricate details all through it, it's been haunting me ever since I heard it.

I haven't heard of this one, but I love the different take on the heroic journey and the connection to nature and yin energy. That isn't always depicted in some of the classic hero's tales, but I think is deeply important in showing variations in those dynamics. For example, the grail myth also has a similar starting point...immersed in the feminine/mother, more within nature, before taking off and developing via the heroic path.
