Didn't like it at all.  Silly propaganda about living in peace with the Indians.  Message in this movie is that Indians, not whites wanted war, and there could be peace if only the Indians want it.  Sure there can be peace if the Indians only give up their land!  Portends the superiority of white man - Indians are terrible shots, whites always hit the Indians, but Indians miss.  Whites win all the one on one hand fights. Indians are treacherous, shoot an unarmed man,  etc. The reality was peace was always on the white man's terms - terms which the white men always violated themselves.  Used to be a great museum in Wall, South Dakota about 70-80 miles from the Wounded Knee cemetery.  Go there and see the real history of white-Indian relations in the Dakotas.  Read about the life of Charles Eastman. Go visit the Pine Ridge Reservation.
