If movies are a mirror of our culture, the changing images of Native Americans on film reflect our shifting views and values over time. In the early Westerns, America's First people appeared on screen as hostile redskin savages. As American attitudes evolved, the camera focused more on Native Americans as individuals, accentuating their languages, culture and diverse communities.
