I sent a message to a mailing list from TheBat! 2.00, it ended up like this

The original message was:
 The balding is a red herring, as all we see on Diane's page is a person with
 no hair on their head.  That can be because the head was shaved,
 illness, etc.

 Native Americans do have facial hair to varying degrees..

 The Siriono of Bolivia have beards.
 See Nomads of the long bow: The Siriono of eastern Bolivia, by
Allan R. Holmberg. IV+104 pp., 7 pls., 4 charts, 1 map. 1950

 Amazonian Indians have beards. I
 Go to http://www.der.org/photography and click on the section on Latin American 
photgraphs - see the top photo..

 Lots of photos here:
http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/S?ammem/curt:@field([EMAIL PROTECTED](Beards))

Make sure you copy and paste the whole link, as clicking won't work
probably.  It needs all the parentheses.

Pacific Northwest tribes such as Nootka, Klikitat, Kwakiutl, Haida,
 all show descriptions of bearded tribesfolk on first-contact.

Bearded Indians in the Caribbean:
http://www.caribbeanconsulting.com/Sabaxyz/Will/EarlyHistory.htm

There are many stories of bearded Indians. Some are probably about groups
of people with some European heritage, but all of them? Likewise you can
find many reports about Indians plucking their beards out.  This one isn't
scientific but it is typical:

http://www.everettarea.org/tales/v02/v02c12.htm

Captain John Smith wrote:

"[The Powhatans are] generally tall and straight, of a comely proportion,
and of a colour browne...Their haire is generally black, but few have any
beards"  

http://state.vipnet.org/dhr/arch_NET/timeline/contact_indian.htm

In other words, a few did have beards.

More beards in Brazil:
http://www.wargamesfoundry.com/library/brazilwood.htm
" Despite believing that if they grew beards or had their hair long at the
front 'they might be seized and captured by these', some Tupinambá
emulated the appearance of their French allies by growing beards. However,
they plucked out all other facial and body hair."

Beards in southern Mexico, the Mixe:
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/10408a.htm

bearded California Indians
http://216.239.39.104/search?q=cache:U1LtKOqifgwJ:www.spk.usace.army.
mil/cespk-pao/dec02/dec02-09.html+Ohlone+beards&hl=en&ie=UTF-8

and also at http://www.portchicago.org/lastwave/chapters/LastWave_Ch1.pdf
or non .pdf
http://216.239.39.104/search?q=cache:8Z_naBPRiSAJ:www.portchicago.
org/lastwave/chapters/LastWave_Ch1.pdf+Ohlone+beards&hl=en&ie=UTF-8

I imagine I've just scratched the surface as all I've done is searched
the web.

Then there are the genetic relationships.  What we know for sure shows
relationships with Asian groups, who also have in general less facial
hair than Europeans, but can grow beards.  If Kennewick man is related
to the ancestors of the Ainu, he probably had a beard.
