It is great to see more Indian actors/actresses making it. Wes Studi is a good example of better days. But I'm not so sure a limited portrayal of Indians as "proud, spiritual, and strong" is very good. The full spectrum of humanity ... the good, the bad, and the ugly would offer many more opportunities. Cooper/Mann did it well ... Magua AND Chingachgook.
