This film is absolutely amazing and historically accurate rendering of the Sagar families trip west. This film was one of my favorites as a child growing up in the 90's despite it being made well before my birth, and it still manages to capture the attention of my own children born well into the 2000's! Please given it a chance and ignore the ignorant comments so many are making about "poor acting, low budget, or this nonsense about it not accurately representing Indians". None of that it true in any shape or form. Yes it is obviously not a trashy contemporary Hollywood film, it was made in 1974 not 2020! However that is part of what makes it a great film, it was not made to fit this new fictitious Hollywood narrative that seems to be extremely popular amongst those poorly informed in American history. Rather than attempting to show the settlers in the worst (fictitious) light possible it shows the reality of both the settlers and their Indian counterparts. Neither party are portrayed as the heroes or the victims, which is the reality of that time period. Fear drove both parties to commit atrocities but kindness and charity also drove both to parties.
