Continuity mistake: During the battle with the Indians we see two braves that get killed, both wear distinct costumes that only they have - one brave wears a simple costume consisting of just a breechcloth and single feather. Both braves get shot in the heart and fall off their horses and die at the same time. We then see these same two braves die repeatedly throughout the battle, just filmed from different angles. When the Indians ride off there are only two bodies that match these braves' costumes on the ground.
