Very sensitive Native American film
12 July 1999 | by (Daytona Beach, Florida, USA) – See all my reviews

This film was produced by a very small video studio and I am having a very hard time finding a copy of the video in any format. Lon Chaney Jr. had the leading role as Chief Pontiac in this exquisite movie. It was one of his best, most sensitive performances. Chief Pontiac was in real life an influential Native American chief who affected the course of history of the native people on the Canadian border and Lon Chaney Jr. did a great job staying close to the documented history of this Native American tribe.
