Well I am a new member here and as my name suggests I am of Cherokee heritage. ;D I was really interrested in the movies for putting in the American Indian mythology of the Great Spirits and the harrmony of nature. Although I am a Catholic Christian I have always found the mythology of my ancestors interesting. Oh and the movies are just great anyway.

Well most American Indians believed in the Great Spirits and the harmony of man and nature. We also believed in the spirits being everywhere in all plants and animals. I will say this if American Indians are "monsters" in the movie Europeans must have been demons when they first arrived since they killed hundreds of bears for their furandjust pure pleasure.

Welcome aboard! ^^ Always good to see a new member.
Edit: That's kind of a simplistic view. :\ The point of the movie is NOT to portray anyone as monsters. It always makes me sad that people only see the surface of the story.

It always makes me sad that people only see the surface of the story. No that was not the point of what I was saying. Obviously the point of the movie was about forgiveness, empathy, etc. and being in harmony with nature.
