Piney would know!
I gotta go through some books on this one. There are "little people" in various tribal legends but they are pranksters. Also there is a legend among New England tribes about a spirit who is so thin he disappears when he turns sideways. Wamagames'wak he is called by the Mohegan. He only comes out when called up by a witch When he bites you he takes out a chunk that looks triangular and you get sick and he keeps biting chunks out of you. It's a pretty gross legend.

edit: If it is a desert tribal legend 'Battleangel' might be able to give more info. She is Dine'
