The earliest Native American super-villainess I've encountered is the character of Queen Bee. She appeared in the 1966 LONE RANGER cartoon, each episode of which consisted of two "Lone Ranger" shorts (with or without Tonto) and one "Tonto" short. Tonto got to take on Queen Bee in one of his solo shorts, but all one knows of the villainess is that (1) she herself appears to be Native American, and (2) she somehow got hold of a massive honeycomb, and this in turn allowed her to control massive bee-swarms that she could use against intrepid settlers. Guess her motto was, "Bee all that you can bee."
