Though ‘Dances with Wolves’ is a well-done movie and was the most enlightened and ‘real’ movie about mistreatment of Native Americans, it is pretty gentle. Gentle in its portrayals as well as the content. The worst cases of mass killings are virtually unknown to much of the American public. The Sand Creek massacre was bad, as was Wounded Knee. I don’t believe many people are ready or willing to see the eagerness many possessed to ‘exterminate the savages in a timely manner.’ Presidents, state leaders and American citizens endorsed this (not exclusively, of course), and many Americans don’t want to see the dark side of their country’s ‘heroes.’
