YOu seem like a person I can ask, but where can I get started for Thunderbird myths, I am a college student with access to academic sources and I’m looking for guides.

Thunderbirds come from Lakota Sioux myths, originally, so that’s where you should probably get started. The Lakota word for them is Wakinyan or The Thunderer, and is related to the great spirit, also known as Wakan Tanka (The Great Mystery), or Wakinyan Tanka (The Great Thunderbird), and other Thunder beings (Wakinyan Oyate). Look for books on Lakota, Sioux, and Arapaho myths and spirituality. :)

They are sacred and good and IMO should always be treated respectfully and with veneration if you want to include them in a work of fiction.
