Here are a couple Peoples that I created to get things rolling in a PbP playtest:

A Native American analog.
This is the local people and majority in Lowa.
They are short and wiry with red~brown skin, straight black hair and brown eyes.

They are stocky, with olive skin, hazel or green eyes and curly, black hair.
