Theories about Desert Na'vi

I'm pretty sure a lot of us have heard about the Desert and have thought about what Na'vi living their would be like. I would like to know what are popular or personal theories about Desert Na'vi

Here's two of mine after I saw some fan art of Desert Na'vi being a light brown I thought it looked cool but then I remembered before Fire and Ash came out a lot of people thought the Na'vi's skin of the Mangkwan would be literally red turns out they just painted themselves red so Desert Na'vi would definitely be some shade of blue so I thought maybe they would paint themselves black but not as some kind of sbol of their betrayal from eywa but rather as a tool to their survival since black colors absorbs the Sun's light and rays

Theory number two began when I thought "Wait there is little to no wood in the desert" so how would they craft their weapons first logical thought that came to mind was they would be entirely reliant on material from animals like bones for weapons and skin for huts but then I thought if did that they would almost entirely destroy the ecosystem so they would be more reliant on animal material then all other clans but not entirely and unless their is some special rock from the desert their wouldn't be much things to craft out of except for one thing and then the thought of desert Na'vi crafting things out of metal came to mind perhaps they would be the first clan to break law of eywa saying not to mine or craft out of metal because it was a nessecity to their survival

So those are my theories what are some other theories about Desert Na'vi out there if someone would like to share please do and if there is someone who would like to criticize my theories go ahead

What if there was a muslim tribe of fremen

This is a thought I've had for a long while as both an arab and muslim fan of dune now before I begin I would like to point out that I discovered dune when I first watched the movie and I loved that the fremen were based off of my people I saw so much things that they did that muslims do almost exactly the same like the way they pray then I found out that it was based off a book which was inspired by my culture directly, then after a little reading on wiki I found out that fremen were canologically my people's descendents if you can call it that but then I after some more reading I found out that fremen weren't muslim like I initially thought and that after 10,000 years there were two other Muhammad's which I thought was a weird piece of lore and that my religon had somehow fused with Buddhism and that fremen worship the sand worms which was even weirder to me now to anybody who might say that this concept completely goes aganist Frank Herbert's original message about political corruption and the changing of religon's over time please know that I completely understood what he was trying to say and I symphasize with it but try to understand that as a muslim this piece of lore will obviously feel a little weird to me but now to the concept I do think that it would make complete sense for at least one tribe of fremen in the entire universe to still believe in the original version of Islam we muslims have had a system to keep any information mostly for the Quran and the Hadiths to stay intact word for word it was designed to ward off any corruption over the centuries and ever since the time of the Prophet Muhammed (SAW) it has worked I personally think that it would still work for thousands of years to come so even in all the corruptionthat happened over the timeline of the dune universe there would still be people that believe in the Quran and the words of the Prophet (SAW) perhaps enough to make a tribe and live in their own seitch so if there was one how would they live and survive on Arrakis with all of its dangers plus the other tribes who will probably discriminate or even fight aganist them
