@EMSeriff Well, I think that you could keep "Steve and Bucky" , if you plan on keeping Steve that is, in the WW2 era. Bucky being , yes, an American Indian. You could keep Steve basically the same personality-wise if you include him. The two would be friends, Steve being picked on either while a child, or in the military, for being friends with an American Indian, and trying to understand the culture "Bucky" came from. (hey, you could keep that name! Maybe you could have the first animal he brought down after coming of age to be a 'buck' and so, the other young warriors gave him that nickname! ☺ ) Anyway, they could still go to war and everything, just change where the both of them grew up. Steve could have lived on a farm just outside the reservation where Bucky lived.
