* ShownTheirWork: They put a lot of effort into getting the Native American culture right, and what discrepancies there are can easily be justified by the fact that these aren't actually Inuits, but a similar culture that lived thousands of years earlier. It's probably the most accurate portrayal of Native Americans in any Disney film.

* AnimalMotif: Each person gets an animal themed totem when they come of age. Besides Kenai, the most notable of these is Sitka's eagle of guidance. Sitka represents the Tlingit people, who are divided into two moieties named for the eagle and the raven.

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: The movie is set around 10,000 years ago at the latest, as evidenced by the presence of woolly mammoths, and the mention of other fauna such as the sabre-toothed tiger (Smilodon). However, this means that despite the tact implications (especially with the use of the Iñupiat language), the culture shown in the movie is not Inuit, as the ancestors of modern Inuit only arrived in America around 5,000 BP, several thousand years after the movie is set. This wasn't really avoidable, though--we don't know much about the culture of era, so it made more sense to use a later analogue. The movie and its sequel do, however, display an archaeologically accurate depiction of the Native Americans during the Upper Paleolithic era- as seen with the accurate clothing, settlements, the use of "Clovis" spear tips, the use of red ocher during ceremonies, and jewellery.

* MeaningfulName: Most of the characters are given the names of real life locations in Alaska.
** Koda's name is derived from Kodiak, the island that is home to the largest specimens of brown bear in the world.
** Tanana's name means "trail water" in Koyukon and refers to a river in Alaska used as a landmark and guide by many Athabascans. When Kenai is transformed into a bear and washed down a river, it is at the river that Tanana meets him and sets him on the trail to his redemption.

* ChekhovsSkill: In "Great Spirits" during the scene where Denahi and Sitka are fishing for the Kenai's ceremony, Kenai interrupts them while riding on mammoth. Way later in the movie, during "On My Way" when Rutt and Tuke point out to Kenai and Koda that Denahi will track them down by following their footsteps, Kenai gets the idea to ride on the mammoths backs, to throw him off track.

** Notice how the bear doesn't directly attack Kenai or his brothers, only ever attacking in self defense. It also doesn't stop to finish off Sitka. Also, when Kenai is hiding the in bushes, the bear looks around as if looking for something before running off. Despite being large enough to be a threat, if the bear was the monster Kenai saw it as, it wouldn't be running away unless it was luring him away from something. Or, more accurately, someone.
