Mild spoiler here: Part of the film included scenes of a Pawnee Indian nursing a shredded Hugh Glass (DiCaprio back to enough life for him to carry on. Some Indian dialect was spoken and given subtitles, but it was not Pawnee; it was Inuit Eskimo.

Specifically, the lines were recorded of a woman living in Barrow, Alaska, reciting a poem some 27 years earlier. The woman was in Fairbanks AK, seeing the movie, and recognized her own voice and realized that she (and her accompanying son) could understand it.

Somehow that recording found its way into a studio where it was used in the film. Ms. Doreen Nutaaq Simmonds was never notified of the use, nor did she receive any compensation for it.

This 69-year-old woman was in Fairbanks working on her degree from the University of Alaska. Why? She didn't want to wait until she was 100.
