Then Native Americans Get The Military Thumbs Up: Roger Ramjet...
(Was Roger Ramjet An Air Force Promotional Cartoon? Loved these cartoons as a kid, btw)
Roger Ramjet enters cowboy country and gets caught and they become convinced he's a martian (very similar to present times, I have to say. Then they are attacked by wild Injuns that don't know there aren't supposed to be any wild Injuns (Wild West Proverb: A good injun is a ...?)

Horse as a brother is apt as one of the first crimes that got you a lynching was stealing a man's horse.

Roger Ramjet calls them Injuns "The Cleveland Indians".

Roger Ramjet is a hero to the Injun and makes friends with him

Injun wants Oklahoma back (which means, btw, 'red people')

Injun sneezes Injun names (i.e. their names sound like they could be sneezes?)
