Does anybody know anything about it?

It appears real. Im wondering the source and info behind that pic.

According to IMdb trivia:

"The photo in the closing credits was taken in 1886 by Camillus Fly, the famous Tombstone(AZ) photographer. The white boy in the photo is Jimmy (Santiago) McKinn, captured by the Apaches in 1885. Like the Paul Newman character in the film, McKinn was totally assimilated in the tribe and was rescued against his will when Geronimo surrendered in 1886. He died in December 1941."

Glad that the IMDb Trivia section I "borrowed" could be of interest to you, buzzlightyear.

I'm sorry I did not see your response above that of 5 months ago. Sometimes I miss notifications...
