I'm pretty sure more people would recognize Disney's Pocohontas over Disney's Tiger Lily if shown a picture of each. Also, the portrayal of Tiger Lily and her tribe was a lot more racially insensative (being from the 1950's) than Pocohontas and her tribe (being from the 1990's). In fact while Pocohontas had many beautiful songs about the naturalist culture (things like Colors of the Wind and Just Around the Riverbend), Peter Pan had the rather racist song of What Makes the Red Man Red. All important things to consider when adding either of them to the show.
 * 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 two of our leads (not originally, but for a large portion of their lives), 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.
