It is difficult to make any generalizations about any broad ethnic group. There are variations depending on the tribe and region just as there are differences between northern and southern Europeans.
What are some physical traits of American people?
Americans don't really have physical trait because they are like "an American melting pot" so there are many nationality mixes but Americans usually have very strait teeth because it is extremely common to have braces as a kid. Native Americans are very tan and have thick black hair but pure native Americans are very hard to find because of the United states history.
Why is Native Americans' hair long?
Generally, there was very little significance of long hair to American Indian males. People place too much importance on hair styles for men. As with all society, how the Indian wore his hair depended upon what was in style at the time and subject to change and independent belief. It is believed that it was very important to Native American males to have long hair. They felt that having long hair was like having a sixth sense, that it eenhanced their abilities to protect themselves. When the Native Americans were enlisted in the military, people noticed that the ones who had long hair, were able to sense attackers and things out of the ordinary more easily. Those who had military haircuts, could not sense such things. There for, they believed long hair was sort of like a defence mechanism.
