Factual error: In the hospital scene that follows the result of the arrest of Sitting Bull, and of his death at the hands of the tribal police, one woman tells Adam Beach what happened. Adam then goes over to another patient who tells of what happened at Wounded Knee. There is 293 miles distance between where Sitting Bull was killed at the Standing Rock Reservation and Wounded Knee, which is on the Pine Ridge Reservation. The wounded could not have possibly travelled in the dead of winter to get to a hospital in 1890 South Dakota.
