Johnny Sixkiller

I watched "Thunderheart" on TV the other night and wanted to draw an American Indian looking guy. Is there a way to depict members of a particular race in cartoon without resorting to racist caricature? Hopefully.
Thankfully there aren't that many Indians left so the chances of any of them seeing this and being offended are probably pretty slim. Although come to think of it, it's possible being reminded there aren't very many of them left and saying "thankfully" before the expressing the idea might prove offensive too.
At any rate if you're Indian and don't like this blog entry I'm sorry. I just saw "Thunderheart" and wanted to draw.
