Since their invention, Hollywood movies have generally portrayed Native American Indians as bloodthirsty villains, anonymous and deadly forces of nature, or as noble savages. And speaking roles tended to go to Anglo-Saxons in red-skinned versions of minstrels. Who can forget Rock Hudson as the warrior chief Young Bull in the classic Winchester '73? Narrated by genuine Native American Will Sampson, who played Chief Bromden in the Academy award-winning One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Images of Indians is a five-part documentary that shines a light on Hollywood stereotypes of Indians. This fourth program deals with the ignorant and/or intentional misrepresentation of various American Indian religions and the inaccurate depiction of the role of women in Native American societies. The series was written, produced, and directed by Phil Lucas and Robert Hagopian. ~ Steve Blackburn, Rovi
