Cartoons back then were a little bit sambo so to speak, but the intent wasn't strictly malicious, just uninformed.

You use the words/concepts you know to express something to an audience. If society tells you that native Americans wear headdresses, then you will likely add a headdress when introducing a new native american character, not neccesarily realising the damage of the stereotype behind it.
