No, but it is interesting to note the differences between the Michael Blake novel and the Kevin Costner film.  In the book, John Dunbar becomes the member of a Comanche tribe, whereas in the film, he befriends the Sioux.  The reason for this change according to the producers, has to do with the film's famous "buffalo hunt" scene; the only buffalo ranch they could find was near a Lakota (Sioux) reservations, which would have made it difficult to coach the Native actors and extra in the Comanche language.
