Any idea whether these are just generic totem-like figures, or if they come from a particular part of the country, or from a certain tribe?

IMHO, I would say it is very generic. The give away is the surround being too perfect not to be either stamped or poured.

This might help make them easier to identify

The figure on the left looks like a N.W. CoastIndian totem. The one in the top middle sort of looks like it could be Mexican Indian Aztec? sort of. The one on the right looks like S.W. Indian -tribe not discernable and I cannot figure out the bottom one. Appears to be commercially made by some company as costume jewelry.

My first reaction was that the bottom figure looks like Icarus (who learned it was not wise to fly too close to the sun) from Greek mythology. Along with the Native American influence maybe it is a statement about "flying" in mythology.

The one on the bottom looks Navajo. I remember seeing a navajo dance using that costume

Nope - the one on the left is definately a totem pole - like those little wood and composite things they sell in Alaska as souviners to tourists. They always have wings sometimes made from cheap plywood nailed on. Maybe it is supposed to be an Indian Motif pendent.
