Since she is a character in a novel she is not a real person and is not from any specific native tribe. The story is based on a real person: Juana Maria, who was a member of the Nicoleño tribe, who were called Niminocotch by the Coast Chumash.

Which Indians originally lived on the great plains?

Nobody originally lived on the Great Plains, since they were too vast and featureless to permit natives on foot to live there for long periods. There were no reliable food sources except the huge herds of buffalo, deer, antelope and elk, which constantly moved and migrated seasonally - natives on foot would quickly starve since they could not keep up with these herds.Only when Europeans introduced horses and these gradually became available to some tribes did they begin to live permanently on the Plains - so it was effectively Europeans who created the Plains culture. Just over a hundred years later it was white Americans who ended the Plains culture by decimating the native wildlife and imposing the reservation system.The true Plains tribes, from North to South, were:Atsina or Gros Ventres of the PlainsSarsiAssiniboin or HohePlains OjibwePlains CreePiegan or PikuniBlood or KainahBlackfootCrowTeton Lakota (Brule, Oglala, Minneconjou, Two Kettles, Hunkpapa, No Bows, Blackfoot Sioux)Northern CheyenneSuhtaioArapahoSouthern CheyenneKiowaKiowa ApacheComancheJicarilla (Plains Apache)Other tribes lived on the edges of the Plains and only hunted buffalo occasionally. These are not classed as true Plains tribes; they include the Pawnee, Omaha, Shoshone, Nez Perce, Flatheads, Mandan, Hidatsa, Aikara, Ponca, Oto, Missouri, Caddo, Ute, Nakota Sioux, Iowa and Dakota Sioux.

How has the environment of the island changed Piggy's character in Lord of the Flies?

I don't think that Piggy's character does change over the course of the book. I think that Piggy is a constant against whom the changes in the other charcaters can he more easily viewed. Piggy's appearance, other than one lens of his spectacles getting broken, doesn't alter much either. He is mentioned as being the only boy on the island whose hair doesn't appear to grow. He talks like an adult from the start and does exactly the same immediately before his death, when he delivers his speech to Jack's tibe on the causeway. Piggy is set in his ways and reluctant to alter his views about anything
