During this time of year, we'd like to pay tribute to the smallest minority in video game history (aside from the Jewish) -- the Native Americans! We've put together a list of gaming's most notable Natives, with characters from Tekken, Street Fighter II, and a few other memorable titles. Have a good holiday, and remember -- if you're not bursting at the seams with corn, sweet potatoes and turkey, you're not doing the season justice.

 

#7. Chief Thunder (Killer Instinct)

 

His twin tomahawks are dangerous enough, but he'll literally rain down thunder on your ass.

 

 

#6: T. Hawk (Super Street Fighter II)

 

Street Fighter's resident chief is the possessor of moves even more damaging than Zangief's. Harsh!

 

 

#5: Tommy (Prey)

 

Not only did he embrace his Native heritage, he did it to kick some alien ass! (Plus, he curses like a sailor.)

 

 

#4: Julia & Michelle Chang (Tekken)

 

Reminding us that nature can't fight for itself, this mother-daughter team keeps Tekken green.

 

 

#3: Nightwolf (Mortal Kombat)

 

As the only Mortal Kombat character in this group, Nightwolf has no qualms about taking your scalp.

 

 

#2: Chief Scalpem (Sunset Riders)

 

Had General Custer met this Native American, he wouldn't have lasted five seconds -- this bad boss from the beat 'em up Sunset Riders wasn't one to take lightly.

 

 

#1: Turok (Turok)

 

He's a Native American who fights dinosaurs -- enough said.
