ethnicity?

It's strange how there're tons of examples of native peoples (not necessarily native American) who watched and thoroughly enjoyed the film. So... Weird how people would say this was something native Americans wouldn't like..

But anyway, I'm half Iranian (father's side), half American (my mom's from Illinois; she's very pale-skinned). Some people mistake me for being Jewish because of my moderate skin tone and curly hair.

Whoops, my mistake. Growing up in America that's what I know. Though Dances with Wolves, and others in that vein, do specifically involve the folks Columbus mistakenly dubbed "Indians" (and then proceeded to exterminate the first ones he found, the Arawak).

I'm glad that despite the Mighty Whitey plotline, this movie does portray natives in a way that some natives themselves approve of.
