Yeah, I agree, my bad, just edited it. Do you know whether the concept/word of spirit animal exists in only a small subsets of Native American cultures, or in all cultures related to Native Americans?

Honestly I don't know. I suspect that different groups have it and others don't but like most Americans my understanding of the cultures we killed off isn't great and most of it is in context if our genocides against them.
