Answer 1

Most Native Americans look almost Asian but a little different.

If you go a ways south where there were mayans and aztecs yeah there are a few tribes that look differnet

Answer 2

I think it seems like they have more pronounced cheek bones

Answer 3

Native Americans originally came to North America by way of the Bering Strait land bridge that formed during the last ice age. These people were from Eastern Asia and Siberia.

Anthropologically, this places them in the Mongoloid category, thus they generally display Asian physical features. Most have very dark brown or black shiny hair and an olive or darker skin tone with yellow undertones.

Facially, people of Asian decent like the Native Americans have an projected zygoma, or as you would call them, cheek bones. So usually their cheek bones tend to be very high and quite pronounced, giving them a wide looking face. They also have a wide, almost half-circle shaped palate, which lends to the physical feature of very broad straight teeth, whereas Caucasians have narrower, more crowed teeth in general.  Also, most have an epicanthic fold, which is a fold of skin near the eyes by the bridge of the nose. This is what gives Asians and Native Americans the look of slanted, narrow, or small eyes, as well as a broader, flatter nose bridge.

Not all Native Americans will display these characteristics, but for the most part, they do. North American Indians comparatively look like the Inuit or Eskimos, while South American Indians may appear more Hispanic.

Hope this helped!
