Most of the footage is of "Hollywood" Indins. Nothing to do with Native American life, culture, dress, etc. Disappointing.

This is worthy of an OP, IMO. The history is murky because...genocide. No one talks about genocide. Thanks!

...for tourists at Glacier Park.

It's a mishmash, and the fact that they don't identify most of the clips shows that they're not really interested in conveying accurate information.

It may not be intentional misleading, just the usual disregard for what's important to the subjects you're portraying.

wearily,

I love to go to Cherokee NC (about a 3 hour drive for me) and stay a couple of days. The Indian culture is present, and the Indian museum there is glorious.
