Anachronism: The flag that John Dunbar waved when he met the Indians appeared in the wrong era
An anachronism: the pigeon in an old fortress is a Eurasian pigeon with a collar, and it was impossible to appear in North America at that time.
Anachronism: The power line can be seen when the bison is hunted.
Factual error: It is impossible for tribe members to quote the Proverbs or formula-like expressions in the Bible, because these tribes have always been committed to protecting oral knowledge and traditional culture.
Factual error: The three birds flying across the sky are considered swans, but they should actually be cranes.
Error found: When Dunbar was shooting with the 1860 Henry rifle, he could see the ammunition barrel indicator in the rearmost position, which means it was empty. This situation always appears in the film.
Error found: After the Sioux rescued John Dunbar by the creek, one of the Sioux passed by the dead Spivey, splashed some water on his face, and Spivey came back to life.
Continuity: The size of the beef jerky that Dunbar feeds to the wolf keeps changing. It may also be because he changes the way he takes the beef jerky.
Continuity: When Dunbar observed two buildings, his beard stubble was very short, and when he walked from one building to another, his beard seemed to have grown for three or four days.

Dances with Wolves quotes

  • John Dunbar: [in Lakota; subtitled] We are trying for a baby.

    Kicking Bird: [in Lakota] No waiting?

    John Dunbar: [in Lakota] No waiting.

    Kicking Bird: [in Lakota] I was just thinking that of all the trails in this life, there are some that matter most. It is the trail of a true human being. I think you are on this trail, and it is good to see.

  • Kicking Bird: [in Lakota; addressing the village council] He may be a special man or even a god. I ask that Chief Ten Bears give us permission to talk with him.

    [murmurs around the council as Wind in his Hair rises to speak]

    Wind In His Hair: [in Lakota; subtitled] I do not care for this talk about a white man at the soldier fort. Whoever he is he is not a Sioux and that makes him less. We took more then a hundred horses from these people and there was no honor in it. They don't ride well. They don't shoot well. They're dirty. Those so-called "soldiers" could not make it through one winter in our country. And all these people are said to flourish? I think they will all be dead soon... maybe in ten years.

    [murmurs circulate around the council]

    Wind In His Hair: [in Lakota] I think this fool is probably lost.

    [the councel laughs as Wind In His Hair sits back down and Kicking Bird raises his right hand as a call for silence]

    Kicking Bird: [in Lakota; subtitled] Wind In His Hair has spoken and his words are strong. It is true that the whites are a poor race and it is hard to understand them. But make no mistake, the whites are coming. Even our enemies agree on this. But when I see one white man alone and without fear in our country, I do not think he is lost. I think he may have medicine. I think this is a man who will speak for all white people. I think this is a man from which treaties may be struck.

    [the council murmurs and nods in agreement until Wind In His Hair rises to speak again]

    Wind In His Hair: [in Lakota; subtitled] Kicking Bird is always looking ahead and while that is good, he doesn't know this lone white man. This white man cannot hunt, cover our lodges, or feed our children. He is nothing to us! I will take some warriors with me and we will shoot some arrows into the white man. If he truly has medicine, he will not be hurt. If he has no medicine, he will be dead.

    [more murmurs are heard as Wind In His Hair sits back down and Stone Calf rises to speak]

    Stone Calf: [in Lakota; subtitled] No man on the council can tell another man what to do. But killing a white man is a delicate business. If you kill one, more are sure to come.

    Ten Bears: [in Lakota; subtitled] It's easy to become confused by these questions. Before we take action we need to talk about this some more at another time. That is all I have to say. This council is dismissed.
