Many indigenous people have a tradition of hand to hand combat using traditional weapons. When they're defending their village from an invading tribe or colonial soldiers, of course they're badasses. No matter what era you're in, if you live in the Americas, Oceania, or sub-Saharan Africa, indigenous people will be badasses, whether they're wielding spears, bow and arrows, or hatchets. Rarely seen in the rest of the world, though. The American version of the Badass Native tends to wear Braids, Beads and Buckskins. Will often be magical. Overlaps with Noble Savage or The Savage Indian. See also Proud Warrior Race Guy. |

In Queen of the South, one of Teresa's allies is Taza, the leader of a small reservation in Arizona. While he is initially shown under the thumb of the local cartels, once Teresa convinces him to push back, he quickly proves to be a competent leader, to the point that Teresa makes him a partner in her burgeoning empire. | |

His brother John, a.k.a. Thunderbird, tried to be this trope as one of the early X-Men, but his extreme temper (he was the resident hothead of a team that included Wolverine) led to him dying on his second mission. But what a death: punching out a fighter jet. Mid-flight. One of the few comic book deaths that's actually stuck... at least, until the Krakoan era, where John is back and is still carrying one hell of a chip on his shoulder. | |

Chief Scalpem from Sunset Riders. Despite his unfortunate sounding name, he is universally considered far harder than any other boss in the game, including the last boss. Flipping about the screen at breakneck speed and raining throwing knives on your posse, the level of difficulty in this fight is worthy of a Bullet Hell shooter. Even seasoned players end up burning at least one coin on this guy. | |

The Idaho territory had Chief Thunderbird, prior to the rise of the National Wrestling Alliance. He had previously earned fame in Hawaii when he defeated and unmasked the dreaded Red Scorpion, but that was in 1937, well before Hawaii really entered the consciousness of the continental US. After the NWA there was also Chief Suni War Cloud, who unfortunately wasn't as successful, only holding the NWA Idaho Heavyweight title one time for seven days, but he did win the belt nonetheless. | |

On The 100, the Grounders are shown to be, on average, much more badass then the people who come down from the Ark. Justified by the Ark being a small, completely isolated society, giving them little opportunity to practice war, and by their heavy reliance on technology, which leaves them in a difficult spot when they start running low on guns or bullets. | |

In The Dresden Files, Joseph Listens-to-Wind. He's the Nice Guy on the Senior Council, sure— but he can also turn into a bear and go toe-to-toe with demigod-level Eldritch Abominations. Also, the fact that he is on the Senior Council means he is one of the seven most powerful and skilled wizards in the world. The page quote comes from Turn Coat, where he fights a Skinwalker, a kind of Native American evil spirit that can change form and enjoys tormenting its victims. The skinwalker in question, Shagnasty, curbstomps vampires, cuts a bloody path through a whole fae court, and gives the experienced wizard protagonist a nosebleed just being near him. Another character mentions having to lure a different skinwalker into a nuclear testing facility to destroy it. Injun Joe kicked Shagnasty's ass so hard that the abomination ran in fear from him. Even more impressively, Shagnasty is from Najavo and Ute folklore while Joe is from a Great Lakes tribe, so Joe lacked the proper training and ritual knowledge to deal with the creature and he still won by using a rain dance to mitigate its magic and then fighting it in different animal forms including a huge eagle and a bear the size of a school bus. |

The Rakyat from Far Cry 3 are a fictional tribe of gun-toting warriors and hunters defending their people from Ruthless Modern Pirates, privateers and apex predators. They are a fictitious people drawing inspiration from real-world Malay and Polynesian culture, and they value combat prowess, animal cunning and reckless courage over all else. Too bad they ultimately prove to be Evil All Along. | |

The Golden Path from Far Cry 4 are a resistance movement of the people of Kyrat (a fictional Himalayan country) against their despotic king, Pagan Min. The Path's two co-leaders, Amita and Sabal, present themselves as Badass Natives, being good with bows/guns and that, but ultimately, depending on which one you bring to power and then decide to kill when they convert the Path into a Full-Circle Revolution, only one of them plays this straight: Amita begs for her life like a Dirty Coward, but Sabal actively defends himself and can No-Sell headshots. | |

Werewolf: The Apocalypse has two extant tribes consisting mainly of American Indians in the present day. The Uktena are Magical Native American, whereas the Wendigo are pretty much this trope down to the core. They're one of the major warriors tribes in what's already a Proud Warrior Race, were quite active in AIM in the Sixties, and still have a bit of grudge with the Europe-based tribes. The third, now extinct Native tribe, the Croatan, were also this, as they died to the last to banish Eater-Of-Souls, one of the three greatest manifestations of the Wyrm, who'd crossed from the Old World with the Roanoke colonists to spresd the Wyrm's taint in the Americas. |

Their culture is a blend of the Nord's Horny Vikings and that of various Native American and Inuit tribes. While every other race who has attempted to settle Solstheim throughout history has struggled, the In Harmony with Nature Skaal flourish there despite the cold and Solstheim's many dangerous beasts. | |

Malazan Book of the Fallen: Though the Wickans are from Quon Tali and the book they mainly feature in, Deadhouse Gates, is set on Seven Cities, even the Seven Cities natives are impressed by their battle prowess. Their leader Coltaine is the most badass of them all by being even more cunning and fiercer than his followers. The Khundryl join the final battle in Deadhouse Gates just to see who's the boss tribe on Seven Cities and drive away most of the tribes assaulting the Malazan forces. Even Coltaine is impressed, although the Khundryl come to the conclusion that the Wickans are even more badass than them. |

This trope is taken advantage of by the Imperium in Warhammer 40,000 - with countless worlds within its galactic borders and varying conditions and technologies on them, there are some which are so harsh that the world's inhabitants will be at Stone Age technology. Having individuals who survive harsh conditions and prosper with little more than their own strength, they are commonly used as recruits for the Adeptus Asartes. The Eldar Exodites, the descendants of those who saw the terrible depravity and hedonism of the Eldar before The Fall, and fled to the uncivilized backwater worlds on the edge of their empire, places where they'd be forced to work hard to survive. Basically, they're Amish dinosaur-riding cowboy Wood Elves IN SPACE. They tend to keep to themselves, but they're more than capable of schooling anyone who is stupid enough to try and conquer their worlds. In one Black Library book, the Imperium launched an assault on one of the Exodite worlds, and while the Exodites lost eventually, the Imperium needed three Space Marine legions to get the job done. Yes, you just read that right: not "chapters", but legions. Pre-Horus Heresy legions. The Raven Guard are sometimes stylised as space native Americans, ones that have Powered Armour and mandatory 30mm gyrojet rifle and also badass stealth tactics. The Rainbow Warriors are also often Fanonically given an Aztec/Inca theme, which is fitting as the Rainbow Warrior is an American folklore figure, a powerful being who defends life. |

Shadowrun: Native Americans (referred to primarily as Amerindians in the setting) were one of the first human groups to relearn magic once it returned. Thanks to a magic ritual they performed, the Great Ghost Dance, they were able to successfully drive the US government out of most of the western US and formed several new nations. Goes somewhat double for the Sioux Wildcats, one of the scarier special operations groups in the setting. |

Arnold in The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian is a Memetic Badass for a day. This despite being a nerd and excessive Ho Yay. | |

Oberon in Adam R. Brown's Alterien is a Lakota Indian with superhuman strength, superhuman speed, a healing factor and can engage just about anyone in hand-to-hand combat or close-quarters armed combat (knives). | |

Tatanka, a Lumbee. The infamous lack of respect his tribe gets from the US government once led to an angle where he became a vengeful warrior against the wrestling officials he thought were showing him the same disrespect. This was supposed to be a heel gimmick but was so badass the fans took his side. His original heel turn in 1994, when he joined "The Million-Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase's The Million Dollar Corporation, was much less successful. | |

Tekken's Michelle Chang is a half-Chinese, Half-Native American woman who entered the King of Iron Fist tournament to exact revenge on Heihachi Mishima for killing her father. Her daughter Julia also counts as one. | |

Bazil Broketail: Not when we first meet her, Lumbee's definitely not. Once she receives some training from Relkin, though, and aids him in liberating a few slaver camps... Norwul is the top hunter in his tribe and after some guidance from Relkin, he also becomes their best warrior. He is so strong that he can pick up an adult man and break his spine on his knee Bane-on-Batman style with little effort. |

Mega Man Battle Network has two! Raoul, the operator of Thunder Man, is the leader and representative of his clan in the Official Net Battlers. He appears multiple times as a formidable opponent to the main characters, and a very powerful ally. Tomahawk Man's operator Dingo is a kid who has decided to infiltrate a yacht full of rich people to steal a product. The product in question caused damage to the environment around his hometown, and ultimately he is recruited as a member of Team Colonel. |

Commander Chakotay of Star Trek: Voyager fills the masculine action hero role (not in personality, but in the sense of throwing punches and getting babes, a la Captain Kirk and Commander Riker). To boot, his backstory involves leading a band of outlaws to defend his tribe's home planet against Cardassians, with a passion for boxing on the side. The commander is a soft-spoken man of peace who is most assuredly not to be fucked with. | |

Thunder Hawk from Street Fighter was the single tallest playable character at the time he was introduced in the series, dwarfing the likes of Zangief and Sagat. Let's just say this affords him an intimidating presence. | |

Tatanka of Eyeshield 21 is the best high school linebacker in America mainly because he's a whopping 6'10. He also wears his hair in a long braid and wears war paint on the field. | |

The Khundryl join the final battle in Deadhouse Gates just to see who's the boss tribe on Seven Cities and drive away most of the tribes assaulting the Malazan forces. Even Coltaine is impressed, although the Khundryl come to the conclusion that the Wickans are even more badass than them. | |
