Not sure of the caliber of that Winchester rifle, but no way that rifle shot is taking down an adult buff who is charging. A well placed shot through the heart would eventually kill him, but it would take a while for the buff to fall.
That Indian kid would have been a stain on the prairie. The skull of that buff was bigger than the kid...instant splatter!

Correct

It’s a .44 Henry rimfire. Bullet would be 200-220 grains in weight at about 1100 fps. Similar to a.44 special, which is weaker than a.44 magnum. That’s not bringing down a buffalo like that.
