Consider these three factors for Tiger Lily vs Pocahontas: The diversity added is equal, while Tiger Lily fits the second significantly better and arguably the third as well.
 * Story diversity: They are both Native Americans, though from different tribes. No significant differences there.
 * Plot relevance: Tiger Lily is from Neverland, the home realm of one of our leads, a major arc and its villain, and a popular secondary character, as well as one of the few popular "alternate worlds" (the others being Wonderland, Oz, and Narnia). Pocahontas is from America, which would either be turned into Fairy Tale Land or something like 1920s England and therefore would have little-to-no relevance to the cast.
 * Recognizability: Pocahontas is a Disney Princess, but one of the two least recognizable ones, and most people attribute her to Disney completely ruining a great story from American history. Tiger Lily, while not really important to any version of Peter Pan, is immediately recognizable as one of its characters. And while she isn't a Disney Princess, she is still a princess owned by Disney.
