Why do Native Americans appear to usually be clean-shaven?

by orangezebra39

Not currently, but in works of history I feel like I've usually seen Native Americans clean shaven; were there any prominent Native Americans that had beards? Was it a culture thing?

Basically, plucking of facial hair (eyebrows included) was once a widespread practice throughout North America, as hairy faces were often stigmatized favoring a smooth face as a sign of one being cultured, civilized and intelligent.
