* DubNameChange: A printed variation. In the original UK edition of the first book, the titular Indian was named Little Bull. For the American edition, the sequels, and the film version, his name was changed to Little Bear, likely because bears are revered in Iroquois culture whereas bulls were only brought to America by the Spanish. The name of his bride was also changed from Twin Stars to Bright Stars.

* ShownTheirWork: Omri starts out with a child's typical amount of knowledge of Native Americans. When he offers Little Bear a tee pee to sleep in, Little Bear is understandably confused, as Iroquois lived in long houses.

* RealitySubtext: Happens a number of times, most memorably and effectively when in book two Omri tries to bring Tommy back to heal Little Bear, only to find he'd been killed in WorldWarOne, and again in book four when awakening the figures belonging to Jessica Charlotte reveals Sergeant Ellis died at Trafalgar. The last book, dealing with the RealLife fate of the Iroquois versus the American colonists, is even more about this.
