Native Americans finished apart from basing.
Took me three hours to assemble 12 chariots last night, of which two hours and 58 minutes must have been spent removing wheels from my fingers! Maybe a chariot period army was NOT a good idea!

Umm ... are Native Americans noted chariot users?

Twin different armies old bean. Although that would be cool!  8->
I also remembered I had two Copplestone High Adventure polar bears for another project, I even found them in less than half-an-hour of searching and have them assembled. Also assembled another chariot (twice) to be a general for all those other chariots I built...

That would be a categorical "No".

They didnt have wheels/carts until years after after the arrival of horses.

There is a type of trotting chariot racing which is practised in the US.

Re the polar bear drawn chariot, I went that route for my Jadis, Queen of all Narnia army. A simple conversion, save for making the crown I needed to put on her head. it was soooo tiny, that I lost the first one when it popped out of my fingers and had to make another one. But a fun little project.
