What stereo type does Irving present of Native Americans in the Devil and Tom Walker?

Irving presents a stereotypical view of Native Americans in "The Devil and Tom Walker" as being associated with witchcraft and the devil. Native American characters in the story, most notably an old woman named Queechy, are portrayed as having supernatural powers, such as the ability to transform into animals and manipulate the weather. Their association with the devil suggests a negative and somewhat fantastical portrayal of Native American culture. Although Irving attempted to include elements of Native American folklore and rituals in the story, his representation still relied on common stereotypes of the time.
