"Good Indian" is a trope, kind of like "Magical Negro." "One of the Good Ones" as it were. Even if it's justified by the story and slightly more humanized by not making the Natives out to be the savages they were in early tv serials, it's still kind of playing into a trope (especially given the visual set-up of the scene she saves him in, with the Natives howling for Smith's blood and the scary colors and all, and the song beat leaning more towards a stereotypical "war drum song." It's a lot of little things that they probably meant well, but reached to as a storytelling shorthand, and those little things, all added up in this context, have Unfortunate Implications, and harken back to the old trope of "the good Indian."
