GURPS Adventures easy to port to a Mythic American Indian setting

[joshualevy]

Does anyone have any pointers to GURPS Adventures which would be easy to port to a Mythic American Indian setting? The adventures can be free or commercial, all I care about is that they use the GURPS rules (prefer 4th edition), and the adventure itself is easy to retarget to a low tech, native American setting.

By Mythic American Indian, I mean that magic does exist, so it is sort of "arrows and shamans" rather than "swords and sorcery".

Obviously, I'm not looking for a classic dungeon crawl. Something in a village, or maybe a horror adventure, or low-tech merchant, exploration, etc.

I don't know of anything other than GURPS Classic: Old West - but I'm a part Cherokee and my grandfather used to tell me all kinds of stories. I even posted one here. What are you most interested in, specifically?

For the game itself you're going to need Low-Tech(and its Companions), Martial Arts, the book for whatever magic system you're going to use*, and maybe Horror for supernatural critters.

* If I were you (and not because I am a advocate of it), I'd use ritual path magic with Ritual Magic as the core skill to represent various magic-workers. Then spend character points to buy a ritual path magic-only Energy Reserve (1 CP = 25 mana) to cast spells. Since in most tales medicine aka energy usually has a finite amount unless you have a spirit Patron. I'd completely disallow Ritual Adept except maybe with the limitation "Only to tap sources, 80%."
