Okay, I have to recommend Catharine Maria Sedgwick's Hope Leslie, which was actually written in the 1820s but is set in 1643. It's basically a direct response to James Fenimore Cooper, and there's a fantastic Native character named Magawisca, and while it's still a little problematic in the ways that novels from the 1820s are, it is surprisingly feminist and equal-minded toward its many Native characters, so it holds up amazingly well. Here's the Wikipedia article, if you'd like more info, but the plot summary is super-detailed so you may not want to read it if you prefer to avoid spoilers.
