This one has still yet to be fully explored, and that's a real shame.

The first game had but a handful of American Indian characters, the most prominent of which was the short-lived, ill-fated informant, Nastas. The others were mostly nameless guns in Dutch's new gang. They played a larger role in the second game, but only towards the back end.
