There was a bunch of stuff I was contemplating that's already been mentioned, and I'd like to second: Shiv and the Omaha people, Kande's Quest, Kenzie building more tribal bonds (how close is he getting to full membership now?), Europeans adopting local lifeways in The Bear Tunnels. Regarding that last, suppose there were a cluster of people who were local to one another before emigration/transportation to Turtle Island. Would it be possible for them to develop tribal customs compatible with local standards, and become recognized as a tribe in their own right? Could the prevailing culture flex to handle that, as a way of recognizing their distinct identity that doesn't involve assimilating into the local tribes?

Also, do you have anything relating to Mesoamerican or South American indigenous cultures?
