Old West Fans...lend me your steers....now some Indian questions!

[Elbows]

***New Request***

While I will begin conducting my own research, including acquiring some books, and such - what would one expect from an Indian expansion?

Southwest and Northwest tribes --- looking mainly for 6-8 character types, and 6-10 weapons.

These will be complemented by a US Cavalry addition (right now the game features a generic Soldier character).

Characters also include an Indian Scout (representing an Indian who lives in white society, etc.).  I'd like to expand with Brave/Warrior, Medicine Man/healer, Chieftain, etc.  What other types could I use?

Weapons: club, tomahawk, spear, bow, knife, etc.

I will be ordering some of the Conquest plains Indians as they're gorgeous models, and while I'm not overly interested in the Indians myself, I do think it would add some real diversity to the scenarios and gameplay.  Any ideas?

What exactly are you looking for, Elbows?
Sounds like you have a good idea what you are doing.

I'm no expert myself, but I have always had grá for the Native Americans.
Could I suggest bullet proof vests, for something a bit different?

Yeah, I will have some special cards involving "bulletproof" dances and such. 

Did a little research, and think I have figured some of it out.  Just looking for anybody who specializes in indians.  I'll be picking up some of the Osprey books for some painting ideas etc.
