Well James, I am not sure if TLG was trying to represent a specific American
Indian tribe (I doubt it), but these minifigs don't look like they are wearing
traditional Cherokee styles of clothing. For one thing, Cherokee men would
normally wear a sort of turban on their heads, not feathered headdresses.
