    This movie is both funny and sad. We are shown Jack's life story and the destruction of the Sioux nation. The Sioux are depicted as caring loving people not the murdering savages seen in most westerns. Old Lodgeskins (Chief Dan George) is a wise and very forgiving chief, he's is the real hero of this story.

    Surprisingly good. This movie is well before my time and had not heard of it before but thought it was horribly sad and entertaining.
