Perhaps the Faunus are pretty much like Indians (in the American sense) in general: the different varieties are distinct to other Faunus--the difference between Lakota and Cheyenne, for instance--but to the humans, they're all savages.

Therefore, perhaps Blake's "tribe" (for lack of a better term) is especially infamous--like the Apaches--and she's concealing her identity in order to avoid the negative stigma associated with her people. Might be that would make what animal trait (feline, vulpine, avian) genetic.

I know that some places in the United States have Indian reserves would there be the same for Faunus.

Also would that pit Faunus tribe against Faunus Tribe? In the past, most likely. But I guess the tribes realized they had to unite in the face of the human expansion, like the Sioux or the Iroquois.
