Depending where you are on the planet, it can be native Huns, Ainus, Zulus, Samis, or whoever happens to be the long-term inhabitants of a particular region.
I was aware of everything you say and have just found what I wanted to know in an online etymological dictionary. For "Indian", it says "Applied to the aboriginal native inhabitants of the Americas from at least 1553," thereby confirming that the word was applied to native Americans prior to 1600.
Granted that the rest of the cited work makes no further mention of India, but lots of mention of native Americans, it may very well be alluding to a native American language. However, in the context of prophecies, a few of which concern the Incas of Peru, the underlying language would have to be Quechua (quite knowable), not an extinct language of Mexico.
The bottom line is that the swamp scenes look like a new arrivals experience, and undoubtedly the gals would have recorded those experiences in their native tongue, ie. one of the languages spoken in Spain or nearby: Hebrew, Spanish, Catalan, Occitan, maybe even Arabic. Thus, labels placed next to drawings of the gals, doubtless recording names like Arsende, Bruna, Corba, Rixende, Saissa, et cetera, would have been replaced by randomly selected glyphs of equal length, and similarly for the rest of the text. In brief, for quires 1 through 19, the drawings look real but the accompanying script may be pure gibberish.
You say that the VMS is unfinished. Could sudden conquest by the Aztecs account for something like that?
