Of course, you'll need something more specific for a paper topic - just listing information isn't a good approach to a paper. Also, it's not particularly productive to look for sources until you've come up with something more specific. There are a lot of sources on Native American languages out there, and what's useful to you will depend on your topic.

Have you seen Marianne Mithun's book? If not, it's worth a read: https://www.amazon.com/Languages-America-Cambridge-Language-Surveys/dp/052129875X. For Polysynthesis, see Part 1, Chapter 2.

Pirahã is fairly analytic. While there are a good amount of suffixes that mark modality and aspect, there are no agreement patterns and those suffixes (I think) only have distribution in VPs.
