It's actually a really fun set.  There are several little traps over on the
bluff part, pluss you get lots of accessories, animals, two horses, the
canoe, seven figs (all the Indian figs).  I got mine for much less on e-bay,
but the rereleased set is $70 (US) in the newest catalog.

I personally would rather
buy the Fort.

Oh, if you're going to buy one big Western set, I definitely agree.  The
fort is the coolest.

My thought here is that the Indian stuff never sold because
the West Coast "Indian" villages look nothing like that. Here they have the
totem poles and long houses etc.. I guess kids here never related to the
seminomadic tribes of the Midwest :)

They have totem poles in these sets, which I don't think were typical of the
plains tribes.  Most of the rest seems set in the plains, though it is all
on desert plates which seems more like the southwest.  No pueblos, though.
That might be nice.  Actually a cliff dwelling would be a pretty cool set.
Anyway, these sets don't really fit perfectly with any tribe.
