The cowboys were quite diverse in reality. The mythological white cowboy defending his family from native savages came from German artists and revisionist Hollywood. That aside, why is the model wearing face paint in a style from Amazon rain forest tribes instead one of the body paint styles from a North American tribe?
Cowboys were just shepherds/farmhands. The idea that all of them were also secret bounty hunters/gunslingers is insane lol.
The idea that there weren’t financial incentives ranging from literal bounties on Indian heads/scalps to “free” land for killing Native Americans and that cowboys were above taking avantage of these incentives is insane lol.
