Living in Arizona brought me closer to Indians, but still I did not learn alot about their culture. Some movies I have enjoyed that gave more of an Indian viewpoint are:
While I am not a Kevin Costner fan, I did enjoy this movie. Espeically found interesting the character, "Stands with Fists"
I really enjoyed the romantic feel of this fiction story of living amongst an Indian tribe.
"Last of the Mohicans" was an excellent movie and I thought very well done. If you have not read the book, you may want to. I felt it was more realistic than any of the previously mentioned movies, but still it was through a white man's eyes.
Smoke Signals was written, produced and acted by real Indians. This film finally gave me the insight I was looking for. Yes, a small look into the real culture of our modern Native American neighbors. What though is their history and origin? What do they believe? For answers to many of these questions I found a link that you too may enjoy.http://www.watchtower.org/e/19960908/article_01.htm

I played basketball with Navajo girls from the reservation in Arizona. It was interesting interacting with this culture.
As a RN in AZ we learned alot about the "native American Culture". I respect them. I have several Navajo friends, and co-workers. I also went to Window Rock, and stayed with a Navajo Family , in 1971. Simple, Interesting, and Beautiful.
