When the principle characters are introducing themselves to each other in the mountain cave, Crazy Horse (Samson) asks Hickok (Bronson) "what is the old one called" referring to Zane (Warden). Hickok says, "the Cheyenne call him Ochinee". Crazy Horse responds dubiously, "One Eye? The Great White Warrior of Sand Creek? You speak crookedly". Zane and Hickok then demonstrate and explain that one of Zane's eyes is made of glass, and that he truly is "One Eye".But this entire characterization is historically false. "Ochinee" or "One Eye" was the name of an elderly Cheyenne chief, who was one of the many Cheyenne and Arapaho peoples who were massacred and mutilated by U.S. soldiers at Sand Creek, Colorado Territory, on November 29, 1864. Also known as "Lone Bear", he was a charismatic speaker and proponent of peace with the encroaching whites.
