This is a list of, at present, 46 movies (Hollywood-style) that to various extents present Native Americans; some films provide a respectful image of the Native American, some less so. Quality varies, but I have tried to put the best movies first. Since I have not seen all of them, I cannot guarantee a list in quality order. Each film is connected to a database that provides a lot of detailed information on each film, such as actors, directors, etc. Sometimes, a plot summary is provided. When available, I am using another database (where indicated - "Filmstory Database") with a longer description of the plot. Suggestions to include other films are welcome.
