While shooting the scene where Lucy and Velma are driving backwards, Elaine Miles (Lucy) learned to drive backwards driving herself. Hence, no stunt driver was needed.
The song "All My Relations" performed by Ulali at the end of the film uses the traditional Irish tune "Garryowen." The tune was a favorite of Acting-General George Armstrong Custer during the Civil War, and became the official air of the US 7th Cavalry Regiment in 1867. According to legend, it was the last tune played before the Battle of the Little Bighorn, where Custer and his entire regiment were killed.
In 2018, the United States Library of Congress selected Smoke Signals for preservation in the National Film Registry.
In a flashback, Victor's father asks him who his favorite Indian is, and Victor replies "Nobody." Gary Farmer, who plays Victor's father, starred as an Indian named Nobody in the movie Dead Man (1995).
"Thomas Builds-the-Fire: How do we forgive our fathers? Maybe in a dream. Do we forgive our fathers for leaving us too often, or forever, when we were little? Maybe for scaring us with unexpected rage, or making us nervous because there never seemed to be any rage there at all? Do we forgive our fathers for marrying, or not marrying, our mothers? Or divorcing, or not divorcing, our mothers? And shall we forgive them for their excesses of warmth or coldness? Shall we forgive them for pushing, or leaning? For shutting doors or speaking through walls? For never speaking, or never being silent? Do we forgive our fathers in our age, or in theirs? Or in their deaths, saying it to them or not saying it. If we forgive our fathers, what is left?"
"Thomas Builds-the-Fire: Sometimes it's a good day to die, and sometimes it's a good day to have breakfast."
