The Totally Definitive Ranking of Games Starring/Heavily Featuring Native American Characters/Influence

Brother, it is not a pleasant list for the most part.

Charles himself and the occasional interactions with the Wapiti tribe were some of my favorite aspects of an otherwise already excellent game.
Listen it is 1,000,000% just my ass reaching, starving for representation because this is definitely the worst New Vegas DLC, but god dammit it's still New Vegas and it has Native Americans in it okay?! I don't even think it's THAT bad.
Assassin's Creed III is one of my least favorite Assassin's Creeds, but I have to hand it to it for being like the first big modern AAA Native American game. Yeah, as per usual its just bout white guys killing us a lot, but it was a big budget game in one of young me's favorite franchises with representation for my heritage that I hadn't seen before.

Also the boat segments beat fucking ass.
Also also the multiplayer in this era of Assassin's Creed was fantastic, really miss that mode.
As a game I probably prefer it to AC III, but it obviously has far less representation and meaning to me. That being said, the Natives American section is my absolute favorite part of Valhalla.
No fucking way am I gonna list all of these, but I do love Turok. It unfortunately was before my time so I don't really have a connection to it like I do to some games above it here.
Bonus points for the main character being part Native American, but yeah the game is on the good side of fine.
Not a great game, but in a twist of fate the Native American character arc is actually one of the better ones in the game.
An extremely fine survival game that I wouldn't have even known starred a Native American had I not read the Steam store description paragraph.
Certainly not the most pleasant setting to discuss Native Americans in, but I mean at least you're playing as them and not against them.
The game is a very strange single-player survival game RPG that really wants to be an MMO.
