That's why I'm reaching out to everyone to see if there are nay games I'm missing. I had never heard of just cause, and didn't think of pitfall even though that was obvious. If you or anyone know more I'd love to hear them.
I did think of a few more.. Custard's Revenge, GUN, Call of Juarez (?? I think)

Maya != Aztec

I know, shateredsoul asked for Mexican as well. Aztec are indigenous to Mexico. AKA, Mexican. Plus, I wanted to show off the awesome boxart.

Yup, Aztec is fine too. When i said Indigenous/Native American I meant all the Americas. Mayan roots and groups are found from South Mexico to Central America (current borders didn't apply then), Aztecs were in Central Mexico.

Ice Climber?

I'm not sure if you'd really want to use Custer's Revenge as an example. Just sayin'. :)

Yeah I know what you mean, I'm not looking to highlight it or make it seem grand... just trying to get an idea of the portrayal of people from this background in video games. Sometimes it can be very disrespectful, as seen in this game

Grim Fandango.
Red Dead Redemption has a fairly large Mexican section of the game.

I havent really played it but doesn't monther hunter tri have some type of native people in game? I guess they would come under Indigenous perhaps?

Here's two of them:
Sunset Riders (Arcade)
Cowboy Kid (NES)
