The best part is they even mentioned his actual Native American heritage: He’s a Lakota.

“A Lakota; not as tall as the Cheyenne, not as fine featured as the Crow.” -The Colonel, Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron.

This movie does not get enough credit or recognition..

little creek was voiced by a native american VA, and the directors / producers etc etc did a lot of research on the Lakota people and had background characters speak the native language in a few scenes

and lets not forget that little creek is a protagonist and the white colonial americans are the bad ones
