That depends a lot on which tribes you’re talking about. Most of my Indian friends are Sioux, and they look more Asian than Portuguese, IMHO.

I think another person posted (and it makes sense) that the western Natives looked more Asian, such as Hawaiian and Sioux being more toward the west, you are probably right.

But the Seminole and Cherokee (originally from south US) tend to have the Portugese look I think. Didn’t the Portugese and Spanish discover the islands south of the US? The difference in Cherokee and Sioux are vast. The nose and eyes especially. The Western Natives tend to have a more mongoloid eye type and broader/flatter nose. Where the eastern Natives have the longer, thinner nose and a more European/Caucasian lidded eye.

Now I am talking out my butt here, I am in now way an anthrological expert at all and I am merely making some uneducated observations, so please don’t hate me or flame me. Sometimes when I post I feel so darn stupid, but I want to interject too, you know?

Anyway, if I am ever wrong, just tell me. I won’t get upset Freepers! I love to learn new things and I haven’t seen many stupid people on here, so I take your knowledge to heart.

Thanks
