In case it's not mentioned in the previous threads that this one links to I would suggest you make a conscious effort to go darker than you're probably thinking - the areas of skin that were commonly exposed, the face and hands in particular, got really very dark with exposure to sunlight. Particularly so in Plains tribes and those who lived further south for obvious reasons.

Back when I made 90% Native American figures and painted exclusively in oils, the mixture I used , which I found perfect for all tribes, was the surprising combo of geranium lake and lime green, (or whatever is near lime green), You can try scarlet lake instead of geranium, and see which one you like best...and make your shading/highlight adjustments from that basetone. I used to keep it pretty much on the darker side to start with. Simple, effective...best way to keep things.
I don't like the ochre bases as they look way to yellow for me...good for Mongols, Huns, and other type Steppes warriors, but not Native Americans IMO.
If you are doing a South American type, like a Jivaro, I used to add indian red/ yellow ochre to get the coppery look of what the outdated anthropological term "apricot skinned" was.

Actually if the ochre is obvious in the finished mixes that'd be wrong for those tooTWOMOONS said:
Human skin is actually in a narrower hue range than we tend to think, it's just at a specific chroma that they can tend to look 'sallow' - which is far less yellow than it usually appears.Issues of personal painting style aside, yellow skintones are always wrong unless the subject is intended to look like they have jaundice.
