Although some people don't want to see Pocahontas (historical figure blah blah), I would love to see her with the Native Americans in Neverland. You're not the only one who thought that :)

In terms of having Pocahontas like it was mentioned she is an historical figure which actually exist, and play an important part in Amercian History. In terms of Tigerlily I always though they can could developed her character by using Pochontas as inspiration, but that she herself isn't in any way related to the real Indian princess.

I agree with you in this point, because the producers could have gotten inspiration from the different kinds of Native american tribes. Some of these Indian groups include Apache, Polynesians, Comanche, Mayan, and even Algonquian Indians, who all could have been wonderful inspiration for building up this culture was ignored. The best explanation to why we haven't seen them is they are in a part of island that we haven't visited, they went to Storybrooke when the cursed was cast, or they killed or died of disease.
