Native American with little time to peddle (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mohawk

'native american' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'with little time to peddle' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'little time' becomes 'mo' (I've seen this in other clues).
'to peddle' becomes 'hawk' ('hawk' can be a synonym of 'peddle').
'mo'+'hawk' is 'MOHAWK'.

(Other definitions for mohawk that I've seen before include "Brave" , "Skating step; American Indian" , "Iroquoian native" , "American native; skating step" , "Native American - punk hairdo" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
