Two Paul Newman Westerns dealing with Native American issues. In Hombre, Newman's an ally of the Apaches, having been brought up among them, whereas in Buffalo Bill and the Indians, he's an opressor of the Lakota. Buffalo Bill is probably more effective at navigating the issues it chooses to tackle, neatly avoiding the White Savior trope, but Hombre is a lot more fun.
