Winterhawk

When Brian Shaw, the owner of the Edmonton Oil Kings, moved his junior hockey team to Portland, Oregon, he named the team the "Winter Hawks" after this film. In order to save money, the team bought used jerseys from the Chicago Blackhawks, which is why the Portland Winter Hawks continue to have jerseys that are similar to the NHL Blackhawks.

Character Clayanna (actress Dawn Wells) always has on fresh mascara and fresh lipstick, even though she travels for weeks on horseback in the wilderness of Montana, with no luggage and no handbag.

Dedication: In the entire history of mankind, there has been no race of men who have lived with more passion, poetry and nobility than the American Indian of the 19th Century. Never have there been braver knights, more reckless horsemanship, such tragic nobility... Bound together by some strange enchantment that dismissed all misery and poverty, blending the reality of the great outdoors with fantasy, rituals, spirits and dreams, they have created a sober history that will never die; poetry made of blood, not flowers, that will touch a light to the spirit as long as America is remembered...To this magnificent race of men and women - the American Indian - this picture is respectfully dedicated.
