Captive white and black colonial women were often adopted into woodland Indian society and became woodland Indian. Some escaped, but many prefered to stay with the Indians and often married Indian men, just as some woodland Indian women married white men.
A white or black Indian persona is a good alternative to the woodswoman persona.
