"Yes, Native Americans, American Indians, Amerinds, first nations.. whatever they prefer to be called... " he says "The Nunnehi are kin to what they call western changelings... but no one can hate like family. The commoners settled the west, but tied to their mortal blood they took part of the same conquest as others.. not that the Nunnehi were always angels. Raids were not gentle on either side. The sidhe, for the most part, were not involved, autumn sorts were fewer. There was a dearth of holds... but glades, well, Nunnehi and kithai ncan both use that. And it is a great irony that when sidhe returned, while the commoners felt besieged by those who would control them, many Nunnehi tribes welcomed the sidhe as old allies who had treated fairly with them unlike the kithain of other sorts. It's never that simple, of course . You'll find heroes and villains and those who are both in every walk of the dreaming. "
