Review – Windwalker

After centuries of real-life abuse at the hands of the United States and decades of cruel libel in Hollywood movies, Native Americans finally get a movie that’s actually about them with no white characters at all. Though the actors do fine jobs in their roles, an all-indigenous cast would have made the experience complete. In any event, all the dialogue except for some voice-over narration is in either Cheyenne or Crow with subtitles. The story is a simple tale of an old man who returns from near death to help save his family from a band of marauders. As is often the case with the laconic westerns of the 70s and 80s, the scenery ends up playing a major role. So it stands on its own as a movie in addition to being an important step in the right direction racially. Worth seeing
