Birth and renewal is another theme that is central in many religions. In Christianity of course, Christ dies and comes back renewed. In Hinduism reincarnation is a foundational belief.
This theme appears in literature as well: Harry Potter sacrifices himself to the Basilisk (a snake, the dragon of chaos, who lives in the underworld beneath the school) in the Chamber of Secrets and is renewed (born again) by the phoenix (which is itself a mythological symbol of death and rebirth) at the end of the second book.
The themes aren't always enacted as part of the creation myth, but are often still present, and there's meaning in the reality that they appear so often and so consistently throughout myth and literature.
That being said, I will admit that I don't know enough about the Native American creation myths to comment on the way they approach good/evil and order/chaos. I would be very surprised if these themes were nowhere to be found within their myths, though, because the idea of the heroic individual who brings order out of chaos and defeats evil seems to be a human universal.
