Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
They can be any height!. Many are stocky with broad square shoulders but some are small boned!. There is no one nose, lip or eye shape that all Native Americans share!. They vary with tribes and individuals!. It would be best to find pictures, or better yet get to know some Native Americans in person, and do individual portraits so your drawings will be more realistic and not just steriotypes!. In general, most Native people have a diamond shaped face, which is rare in other races!. The face is definitely widest at the cheekbones, which are usually prominent!. The teeth are larger than white people's, with a broad dental arch!. This gives a slightly convex look to the mouth area!. Most lack bony eyebrow ridges!. The eyes are often similar to Asians!. They have more fat under their skin than white people, so the face does not look very angular!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would say average, in between short and or tall!. I met that some were tall and some where short and some just average!. Sometimes looking and indian art gallery will inspire you!. Even used certain animals that are related to the indian and their rituals!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
