Everyone knows the tragic story and no one can change the past. I'm afraid these movies only cause further division and we should be working on ways to unite and solve our current and future problems!
I believe it depends on how it is handled. These kind of movies can be used quite well to educate our youth about problems in the past which may rear their heads in the present. I remember how much pride an avid Lakota student at the University of Minnesota Law Library had when Dances with Wolves won the Best Picture award. This pride also seemed to go throughout the Lakota communities in the Dakotas and Minnesota.
