The Indians are also proud that their names are used for the helicopters in Attack Helicopter units in the U.S. Army.

Not just attack helicopters.. all helicopters. Black Hawk, the famous war chief of the Sauk tribe was from the Mississippi Valley. He met with President Jackson. The Chinook are a Northwestern tribe. The UH-1 "Huey" was named the Iroquois. The "Mash" type H-13 (Bell model 47) was none other than the Sioux.
