* The final boss of the second ''VideoGame/LethalEnforcers'' game is a villainous example. He casts fireballs and summons skeletons to fight for him. Since the game was fairly realistic up to this point, this fight comes off as pretty jarring.

* ''Literature/TalesOfThePack'': Lexie is a quarter Cree from her mom. It turns out that like her mom she's also what's called a peacespeaker, a rare werewolf. Her maternal Cree grandmother also had mystical insights which were labeled schizophrenia, and Lexie shares these too.

* In ''Film/MadameWeb2024'', the spider of the Peruvian Amazon whose bite grants mystic powers was common knowledge to a supposedly mythical indigenous tribe of the area known as the "spider-people" who punish evil-doers and those who attempt to "steal" the spider (for their own good, as those who do become "cursed").

Added DiffLines:

* ''Series/Echo2024:'' In the comics, Echo is a BadassNormal whose skills could arguably count as a DisabilitySuperpower.[[note]][[EmpoweredBadassNormal She also hosted]] [[SentientCosmicForce the Phoenix Force]] for a while, but that's neither here nor there.[[/note]] However, since she's Native American, the creators of her TV series seemingly couldn't resist giving her vague but powerful magical abilities inherited from her mythical ancestors.

Changing wick to correct recap


* In the ''Series/{{Creepshow}}'' episode, [[Recap/CreepshowS1E7TheHouseOfTheHead "The House of the Head"]], Evie buys a TipisAndTotemPoles style Native American "chief" to protect her haunted dollhouse from the malevolent head that has been torturing her dolls. He holds the head off for a while, apparently trying to cast out the curse (which is a lot more than any of the regular dolls were able to do, but [[spoiler:he does ultimately get beheaded.]]

** {{Downplayed}} in the manga when, seeking leads on the location of Patch Village, the protagonists visit various Native American reservations and find their inhabitants to be no more spiritually sensitive than the general population. This includes a meeting with a "normal" Native American shaman whose use of traditional imagery is far more subdued, and who barely knows anything more about the mysterious Patch than they do.

In other words, it's less that Native Americans ''in general'' are portrayed this way, and more that the Patch Tribe are a MageSpecies who happen to be Native American.

** ZigZagged with the Patch Tribe, the group of Native Americans who administer the Shaman Fight. While they do genuinely have a special place even among other shamans (being privy to the physical location of God), they also play up their mystical image a bit by [[InsistentTerminology calling their communicators "traditional handicrafts"]][[note]]DoubleSubverted with the late-series reveal that the Patch include an ''alien'' among their founders and were in fact the first civilisation in the world to possess electronics[[/note]] and trying to peddle overpriced trinkets as good luck charms (justified by the extreme strain that hosting such a massive global event places on the tribe's finances). They do wear full traditional garb while on-duty, but many shamans are traditionalists especially when dressing for a fight (sometimes even {{Enforced}} by their choice of medium).
