I´m guessing the bolded words are "about Native American"

The answer to your question should be adjective phrase since an adjective phrase is a group of words that describe a noun or pronoun in a sentence, so in this case, the article is describing the type of folklore as Native American.

Hope this answer helps you, have a great day:)!
