- TriviaOneida-tribe actor Graham Greene inquires about Frenchman Cartier's familiarity with local languages by asking him what he knows of "Native tongues", while frequently/deliberately using his "Native tongue" to lick the tip of his pencil.
- GoofsExplorer Cartier initially places the **French** flag in a prominent spot, just a few feet from the log table that he is standing in front of, yet in the entire remainder of the scene, the flag is gone, even at the end of the scene, when he walks dejectedly away after being denied citizenship because he refused a body-cavity search, and another intrepid explorer ambles eagerly up with a **British** flag, and is also flippantly sent packing.
