I'm looking to do some FIW set in the SE (Fort Loudon, TN) and was wondering if anyone knows of a 28mm manufacturer of Cherokees for the period? Or good alternatives!

I am working on a Cherokee band for 1770-1790s and am using a mix of various Perry Woodland, Conquest (Warlord) Woodland, Delaware, Sauk, and Seminoles, and a few Old Glory Seminoles. If you are going for earlier FIW, you might also look at some of the Flint & Feather figures. I'll likely have some extras as I always tend ot over-order so holler if you are looking for something particular.

I also have a dormant NC Cherokee War project on the same timeframes as FIW. I never found American Indian minis that matched the descriptions I have found: link or link

The OG seminoles do okay, with turbans and not feathers.

Lord have mercy no French turbans for the Cherokee.
Pro- French Choctaw had them then they were adopted by the Muskogee Creek. The Hitatachee Creek had mostly already moved to Florida to form the Seminole. The Muskogee Creek moved to Florida after each of the Creek Wars.
The Cherokee were an off Shoot of the Iroquois. So those would be better castings to use. The North Carolina branch runs a museum and even has a historical journal. I have a few copies. Good clothing and paint guidelines. They used the traditional red and black war paint to symbolize death. They were unique in the solid almost half red or black upper body was common.

The French turban did not appear among the Choctaw until around 1790.
