of the time, the movie’s plot revolves around Captain Nathan Brittles on his
struggles with improving relations with the Arapaho and Cheyenne Indians. The

interactions with the Native Americans and avoid a war.

THE BIRTH OF A NATION (1915)

Director: D.W. Griffith

Screenplay: D.W. Griffith

Cast: Lillian Gish, Henry B. Walthall, John Ford, and Miriam Cooper



It is considered to be one of the greatest and most landmark movies of all time.
Although the movie is part fiction, it depicts the assassination of Abraham
Lincoln and is considered to be one of the most racist movies of all time. This
may not be a film as the best example for Columbus Day, mostly due to its
negative depiction of African Americans and positive portrayal of the KKK. It
may be worth watching, probably as a reminder of how movies have evolved through
time.

RED RIVER (1948)

Director: Howard Hawks

Screenplay: Borden Chase, Charles Schnee

Cast: John Wayne, Montogomery Clift, Joanne Dru, and Walter Brennan



The plot revolves around Thomas Dunson who starts a cattle ranch with Matt

orphaned child, who eventually grew up to become his own person. It is all sweet
and dandy until the two begin having disagreements.

BLACK ROBE (1991)

Director: Bruce Beresford

wherein Father Paul LaForgue goes on a mission to convert tribes of a distant
Huron village to Christianity. But the mission to baptize them is not going to
be an easy one. The film was appreciated for its highly accurate depiction of
Indigenous tribes. In fact, the film won several awards, including Best Motion
Picture, making it a good choice to binge on.

THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS (1992)

Director: Michael Mann
