The LEGO Indians subtheme became a major part of the Western theme during the second year of release. Most the eight Indian sets included teepee's and native American minifigures. None of the sets features interactions from the Indians to other Western characters such as the cowboys.
The LEGO Western theme, also known as Wild West, ran from 1996 to 1997 with additional sets released in 2002. The theme included two subthemes, Cowboy and Indians, and was set in the Old West in the second half of the 19th century. Sets featured cowboys, outlaws, cavalry soldiers and native Americans/Indians.
