Writerfella here --
Count writerfella in as one more vote for TUROK, SON OF STONE as being one of the pinnacles of Native Americans in comics. And since writerfella only recently found in this very blog that Turok and Andar ostensibly were Kiowans, that then is not an element in his consideration, as he always had held such an opinion since encountering the comic as an adolescent...

I've somehow missed most of these, including "Turok", but here goes anyway, from ones I've actually read:
Highs: Peace Party, Arak
Lows: Little Hiawatha from "Walt Disney Comics and Stories" digest.
Postscriptum:
"mixed": Eagle Free from "Prez". On the downside, he looks so stereotypical, lives in a stereotypical setting and has those amazing animal powers of the "Native Americans have Aquaman-like powers with the woodland creatures" stereotype.
On the upside, he lacks any speech stereotypes and any drunken grandfathers, doesn't have an attitude problem, and he holds an unprecedented high position of political power.
