Native Americans



 are the indigenous people of North America. During the time period of the Red Dead series they were also referred to by the derogatory term "Red Indians" and primarily lived on Reservations. appear as minor characters in Red Dead Redemption and play a larger role in Red Dead Revolver.

Red Dead Revolver
The main protagonist of Red Dead Revolver, Red Harlow, is half Native American by birth (his mother, Falling Star, being a member of the Red Wolf Tribe). His cousin Shadow Wolf also plays a large role in the story.

Red Dead Redemption
A large number of Native Americans left the reservations and some joined Dutch Van Der Linde's new gang in West Elizabeth where they commit various crimes until Marston and the U.S. Military attack Dutch's hideout and kill most of the Natives Americans left.

A Native American known as Nastas helps you with a couple of Professor Harold MacDougal's missions after you rescue him from the Wreck of the Serendipity with Archer Fordham and Edgar Ross although he gets shot by his fellow Native Americans in For Purely Scientific Reasons.

Because Harold Macdougal treats Native Americans like savage, different and ignorant people, the Native Americans hated him and tried to hunt him down with Dutch before he left the West, although John helps him get safely on the train to Yale in The Prodigal Son Returns (To Yale).

Native Americans can be played in Multiplayer as part of the Dutch's Gang category in the Outfitter.

Native Americans can be found just about anywhere in West Elizabeth, aside from Blackwater and are participants in many of the random events.

Trivia

 * Any Native American that is in the Pacific Union Railroad Camp will be shot dead or be fought by any of the workers or campers, probably referring to how they were treated badly at the time.


 * The only Native American that can be seen doing normal activities is at Manzanita Post, sometimes playing Five-Finger Fillet.
