Well it only took 50 years from when this young lady was abused by right wing elements in the film industry.
Apparently John Wayne and Clint Eastwood were the worst offenders.
Perhaps the major studios should take time and apologise for all the shit films they made in which the native americans were portrayed as the baddies.
I love watching westerns but there are some that I have to switch off because they are so crings.
