  • A Native American, also sometimes known as the "American Indian", is a member of one of the tribes of people who settled the North American continent thousands of years before Columbus formally discovered it. They migrated with the rest of humanity to the 'Verse from Earth-that-Was.
  • The Native American people represent a variety of civilizations in the Civilization, Colonization, and Call to Power games.
  • Native Americans in the United States are the indigenous peoples in North America within the boundaries of the present-day continental United States, parts of Alaska, and the island state of Hawaii. They are composed of numerous, distinct Native American tribes and ethnic groups, many of which survive as intact political communities. The terms used to refer to Native Americans have been controversial. According to a 1995 U.S. Census Bureau set of home interviews, most of the respondents with an expressed preference refer to themselves as American Indians (or simply Indians), and this term has been adopted by major newspapers and some academic groups; however, this term does not typically include Native Hawaiians or certain Alaskan Natives, such as Aleuts, Cup'ik/Yup'ik, and Inuit peoples.
  • Native American or American Indian refer to the Human cultures indigenous to the North and South American continents on the planet Earth. The terms refer to cultural and racial groups and their descendants, some of which later left Earth while maintaining their cultures. They were called "Indians" by the first European explorers to visit the Americas, in the mistaken belief that they had sailed all the way around the globe to India, yet that label remained in common use for centuries to follow.
  • Native American was a general term for humans who were generally agreed to be the original inhabitants of North America. A racial more than a singular cultural identity, Native Americans were further subdivided into tribes or nations. Despite many significant differences between the tribes, some culturally commonalities were apparent, such as a general religious belief in the Great Spirit, and a naming convention that tended to award metaphorical names to people.

  • Native American was a general term for humans who were generally agreed to be the original inhabitants of North America. A racial more than a singular cultural identity, Native Americans were further subdivided into tribes or nations. Despite many significant differences between the tribes, some culturally commonalities were apparent, such as a general religious belief in the Great Spirit, and a naming convention that tended to award metaphorical names to people. (PROSE: Peacemaker) Furthermore, most Native American tribes were in some way defined by their opposition to European Americans. Many groups, such as the Lakota Sioux were often involved in armed conflict against the US Army, particularly as the power of the United States government stretched westward in the 19th century. (COMIC: Bad Blood) The First Doctor said that "Red Indians" had "savage minds". (TV: "An Unearthly Child") He later became a legendary figure amongst Native Americans. In his eighth incarnation, he provided counsel to Sitting Bull prior to and after the Battle of Bull Run. (COMIC: Bad Blood) His tenth incarnation was "proud to say [he was] a friend to all tribes", and certainly impressed Walking Crow with his knowledge of the Pawnee tribe. In fact, the Doctor claimed to be generally known to Native Americans as "Rides In Night" — but Walking Crow noted that the Pawnee knew Rides In Night as "Brother of Coyote, the man who defeated the Bad Wolf". (PROSE: Peacemaker) In the days of the Native Americans, Hetocumtek arrived on Earth and set himself up as a god who was infamous for his cruel and destructive nature. Eventually, a "medicine man" managed to trick the alien into a totem pole, trapping him. They buried the totem pole in the Nevada Desert for fear of Hetocumtek's threats that he would one day break free when the totem pole "fell into the hand of man again". (TV: The Curse of Clyde Langer) The Niantic people lived in New England. They had encountered the Hervoken, which they called Hee-oko. (PROSE: Forever Autumn) In 2009 Elijah Spellman told Sarah Jane Smith that mankind had always needed someone to make them laugh, slave or king. He mentioned that the pharaohs had fools as well as the Native Americans. (PROSE: The Day of the Clown) In 2011, Dr Samantha Madigan told Clyde Langer that the most famous Native American curse, called the Curse of Tippecanoe, had been supposedly placed on the American Presidents.

  • The Native American people represent a variety of civilizations in the Civilization, Colonization, and Call to Power games.
  • Native American or American Indian refer to the Human cultures indigenous to the North and South American continents on the planet Earth. The terms refer to cultural and racial groups and their descendants, some of which later left Earth while maintaining their cultures. They were called "Indians" by the first European explorers to visit the Americas, in the mistaken belief that they had sailed all the way around the globe to India, yet that label remained in common use for centuries to follow. Approximately 45,000 years ago, a group of aliens who would later be known as the Sky Spirits visited Earth. While there they encountered a group of primitive humans, and were impressed enough to genetically alter this group of humans. Armed with a sense of curousity and adventure, these humans spread out over both North and South America, and developed into numerous Native American tribes. (VOY episode: "Tattoo") The alien being Quetzalcoatl also visited Earth, and interacted with a Native American tribe in what would later become Mexico. This tribe, the Aztecs, would come to worship Quetzalcoatl as a god following his departure. While Quetzalcoatl had originally preached a message of peace to the tribe, the Aztecs used Quetzalcoatl to justify sacrificing a large number of humans over the years.(TOS video game: Star Trek: 25th Anniversary) Another alien being known as Kukulkan visited Earth several times, and also interacted with the Aztec tribe. (TAS episode: "How Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth") Many European settlers in America considered the "Indians" a primitive people, an attitude which contributed to centuries of conflict. Spock used this historical precedent as an analogy for the need for Starfleet General Order Number One. (TOS novel: Prime Directive) Sometime prior to the 20th century, during this period on conflict, a number of Native Americans were transplanted from Earth to a distant planet by a race called the Preservers. (TOS episode: "The Paradise Syndrome") In 2170, Katowa led a group of Native American colonists from Earth, in order to preserve their heritage. The group finally settled on Dorvan V in 2350. (TNG episode: "Journey's End") By 2267, the American indian had achieved an almost mythological status in most people's minds. (TOS novel: The Romulan Way)
