Oh I so love it too.
And I love their culture and tribes in general, they have an amazing sensibility for Nature.
My mother has the stereotypical (sort of) native american hair (as do the majority of her family), straight, super sleek, almost black hair. Very shiny too, and very coarse, my mom has wires sometimes popping out of her scalp And also, it just slips right out of any updo, it just never stays up. It's funny. It used to be so thick, probably between 5-6 inch diameter? It was really thick.
I used to have hair close to that but my Italian genes kicked in and I got curly hair. It's thick, but I'm still waiting for my hair to grow back after the shed. It's fairly coarse on some hairs, but then I have the few rare finer hairs because of the European genes. I was born like how my dads side is usually born, light skinned, light hair, even some freckles on some family members. But iIdidnt get those. I had straight hair like my mother until the 3rd grade.

Wow, that picture gave me goosebumps! Very awe-inspiring.
You know... The Native's here are the only ones I ever see with hair long enough to really give a second glance at. I don't know if I have any Native in my heritage, but my husband is 60% Irish and 40% Native. He is part Sioux and Lakota (of the Oglala tribe). He has fairly course hair but it's dark brown with red flicks (most likely from the Irish in him) and he was born dishwater blonde. Even his beard has a lot of red and blonde in it. He also has the very bold high cheek bones that he prides himself with possessing. If you look closely and from different angles you can def. see the Native in him. Now if only he would grow out his hair. (Which I actually asked him and he thought he wouldn't look good, but has dared me, after I offered, to get him a wig to prove otherwise. Muahaha)

Both of my dad's grandmother's were of Native American descent, one for sure was Cherokee.
I inherited one of my great grandmother's hair. Most of my hair...although very super curly....is coarse. The strands are very thick and when I straighten my hair, they almost stab me in the neck lol. No one else alive in my family has hair like mine.
