The Army traditionally has always named all its helicopters after Indian tribes. The "real" name of the UH-1 "Huey" was "Iroquois." "Huey" was a nickname taken from a comic book character. The OH-58's proper name was the "Kiowa" but it was almost always called "the fifty-eight."

The AH-1 Cobra was an exception but that was because the Cobra itself was a derivative of the UH-1 Iroquois.

The stupidity of this is they weren't using the names of Indian tribes to denigrate them but to honor them.
