I work for an Indian tribe in Washington state, and I've seen tribal members who somewhat resemble this (and as far as I can tell, they don't have any African admixture). You have to remember that statues like this were not always supposed to be literal or accurate renditions of what someone looked like. Look at the characters on a totem pole, for example. It's an artistic style they adopted as their culture, you can't take the images literally. I'm sure the Mayans did the same.
