Also Chief Dan George in the Outlaw Josey Wales, everybody in ThunderHawk, Elaine Mills in Northern Exposure, August Schellenberg in Death Hunt and DreamKeeper, and all the skins in Shanghai Noon.

The native family in Legends of the Fall - Gordon Tootoosis, Tantoo Cardinal, and Karina Lombard, Sheila Tousey in Grand Avenue, and all the real skins in Last of the Mohicans.

I liked the whole native atmosphere in Black Robe, The New World, and Dead Man.

Black Robe Dead Man and The New World (a little less) my favs for atmosphere, Black Robe all around. The book was even better than the movie.

for the record most "indian" movies are essentially about white people

i like OLDER THAN AMERICA and THUNDERHEART....i dont want to pick them apart...i just enjoyed those movies.....please dont ruin them for me everyone....thanks haha

but yeah my favorite is all the doomy minor key sinister symphony stuff when they show you red savages crawling on your bellies to with thoughts of rape and scalping on the innocent wagons of decent folk just tryin to scratch out a new beginning and a living while minding their own beeswax......especially love the war cries as come whoopin and hollerin...especially when they win....thier victory dances and screams make the savages look like the missing link.....civilization was a long hard road

I dunno, I kinda liked Braveheart better....those Scottish are bad asses in thier own rights...but yes, highly romanticized...hmmmm I don't really have any "favorite" NDN movies.

I kinda dug on Dances with Wolves, but that was because of the story, the scenes of the prairie, the thundering herd of buffalo, the music score, I like the tweens and all the lakota/dakota/nakota (inside joke to myself) being said.

But other than that, Dance Me Outside was about the only other good movie from this era? Genre? Is Native American Movie Issues a Genre? hmmmm. The other ones were corny, or good to watch once a decade, but I don't waste my time on them.
