Many Indian tribes actually adopt at the drop of a hat.  Russel Means (Chingachgook from the recent "Last of the Mohicans" and the head of the American Indian Movement) formally adopted both Daniel Day-Lewis and Eric Stolze.  Whether you were 'natural born' or not, you could become an accepted member of the tribe if you embraced the culture and lived by its precepts.  So it would actually be more appropriate to play an Indian with a different skin color.
