Now you've made it too easy... Seminole.

Remember the Indian Chief in "The Outlaw Josey Wales?" He talked about being of one of the Civilized Tribes... I believe he said Choctow as they were headed into the Cherokee lands.

Spoiler:

Which Karen tribe? There are White Karen, Red Karen (I shot that photo in a Red Karen village,) Long Neck Karen, Big Ear Karen, etc. I used to spend a great deal of time with the various hill tribes in northern Thailand, mostly with the Red and Long Neck Karen.

taller than the height of her head , so let's make it 14 inches.
(assuming we're talking the neck and not the height of the metal bands which rest below the neck).
20 kilos.
