The Conquistador Helmet
Ten Bears tells Dunbar about the “guys who came during the time of his grandfather’s grandfather” in one episode. He displays a Morion, a historically correct Conquistador helmet, to Dunbar. Conquistadors, or Spanish warriors, explored the Americas from the 15th century until the 19th century. Morions were most popular in the 16th and 17th centuries, which fits with the Ten Bears’ time period. The film’s helmet was most likely a fake rather than a real one. It does, however, make a reference to what happened to the Sioux tribe before the events featured in the film.
