Line 15:
* Chinook from ''Buddy Longway''
* Crie-dans-le-Vent from ''Les Pionniers du Nouveau Monde''. The series gets a fair bit of [[Fan Service]] from that character, as she is often [http://www.abaobxl.be/catalog/images/pionniersdunouveaumonde07.jpg depicted] topless.
* The titular character of Crisse's ''Luuna''. She typically barely wears anything except for flimsy [[Braids, Beads, and Buckskins]], but when her [[Super-Powered Evil Side]] kicks in, she loses even that much, opting for slapping on black war paint all over her body.

Line 37:
** Kolma-Puschi ("Black Eyes"), initially thought to be a lonely warrior (or possibly even a sort of spirit) wandering The Plains, turns out to be Tahua ("The Sun"), an Indian maiden of great beauty, educated in the East and married to a white man named Bender, with whom she has two sons - later on, these will be the famed white hunter Old Surehand and Apanatschka, chieftain of a Comanche tribe. Her younger sister Tocbela ("The Sky") was also very beautiful, and in both cases their beauty brought them many, many misfortunes.
* [[Action Girl|Rebecca Caldwell]] from the [[So Bad It's Good]], [[Hotter and Sexier|sex]] and [[Bloodier and Gorier|blood]] drenched White Squaw series is a rare example of one of these characters as a protagonist.
* Magawisca of ''Hope Leslie''. Not only does she get to save the life of Everell [[Shout -Out|a la]] [[Inspired By|Pocahontas and John Smith]] (though nothing ever indicated that she falls for him -- if anything, ''he'' might have developed feelings for ''her''), but she has a rather...[[Les Yay|close relationship]] with the titular character, [[Magical Native American|who's helping to teach her]] that despite the brutal slaughter of her family and kidnapping of her sister-to-be [[Raised By Natives|raised among the Pequods]], the ways of the [[Noble Savage]] are not wrong and in fact have much wisdom. This may be why she gets to be a heroine in her own right.
* Lampshaded and subverted in ''[[The Difference Engine]]'' when a hack writer is adapting the North American adventures of the [[Adventure Archaeologist]] protagonist, and portrays the Native American girl he slept with as a dusky young Indian maiden when she was a middle-aged widow missing two teeth and as lean as a wolf.
