Native American was a general term for humans who were generally agreed
to be the original inhabitants 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 culturaly 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. (NSA: 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. (DWM: Bad Blood)
The Doctor was a legendary figure amongst Native Americans. In his eighth body, he provided counsel to Sitting Bull prior to and after the Battle of Bull Run. (DWM: 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". (NSA: Peacemaker)
In the days of the Native Americans, Hetocumtek arrived on Earth and set himself up has a God who was infamous for his cruel and destructive nature.

(SJA: The Curse of Clyde Langer)
