Thank you for the deep dive article! I’ve only seen the movie probably way back not too long after it was released. We possibly watched a clip from it in a Native Americans in Film class in my undergrad years. I’ve never read the book and didn’t realize it was written from the perspective of a Native American. Thank you for this!
I used to show the whole movie, in parts as we read chapters, but students would get increasingly angry about the omission of Chief’s POV so I ended up watching only a couple of key moments that emphasize the vast difference in perspective, tone, and meaning.
Thank you for this wonderful insight! I have never read this book- which surprises me. Of course I have seen the movie multiple times.... I am inspired to read this beloved book - SOON!

It’s definitely going on my list to read!
