Either way I do think it should somehow be pointed out, in one way or another, that historically speaking, this film is completely ridiculous.

The name of the tribe in which the Pathfinder is from is called Passamaquoddy. I know this because in one of the eraly scenes the Chief says how the people of the dawn will need to be prepared for the demons return. or something like that, anyway the Passamaquoddy are known as the People of the Dawn.

If you spot an inaccuracy that you can back up, surely this is enough? A simplified example: 'Ghost' states that the Vikings "know nothing of spring".
