About this product

Product Information

Perhaps feeling guilty at the way he'd portrayed Native Americans in his previous films, director John Ford's final western is a fact-based work concerning the late-19th-century travails of a group of Northern Cheyenne people. By 1878, 300 of the Cheyenne have had enough of the woefully inadequate, barren reservation allotted to them by the US government, so chiefs Little Wolf and Dull Knife decide to lead their people to their ancestral homeland by the Yellowstone River. Wanting to stamp on this rebellion as quickly and forcefully as possible, the government dispatches cavalry officer Captain Thomas Archer to impel the Native Americans back to their purgatorial existence. But America's rulers don't count on their man developing a keen sympathy for those he's been sent to subjugate... The movie was shot, as so many of Ford's westerns were, in Monument Valley (on the borders of Utah and Arizona), and remains a testament to the plight of the country's original inhabitants, even despite the oddly jarring comedic central section set in Dodge City.
