Navajo is the most populous tribe among people who identify as "Native American Alone".
And Cherokee comes second.

The Navajo are the most numerous, because their population increased while most dwindled after European contact and conflict.
Perhaps the Mississippi Culture is the best fit of what you describe and would have been comparable to the Mayan in time period. There was a large city a millennia ago and certainly some southeastern originated tribes descended from them.
As for the most burnt into the modern American psyche, with teepees and fighting cowboys and calvary… perhaps the great plains tribes: Sioux, Comanche, Crow.
On the other hand, ala Pocahantas, are the east coast tribes… the Powhatan confederation that fought with the earliest Virginians, the Wapanhoag led New England tribes fighting the puritan settlers and less than a century later the Shawnee that united many other midwestern tribes to halt the expansion of the new USA.
And of course the Cherokee were among the most conflict, numerous times during the middle to the end of the 18th century in Appalachian south.
