 I hate that the only one I've seen is Dances with Wolves, but I keep hearing Skins is fantastic and am grateful for this compilation! 

p.s. Might I add that anyone who somehow might not have seen Dances with Wolves - watch the 236 minute extended version!!! 
 Natives had a hard time with Dances with Wolves because the real John Dunbar was a racist missionary who betrayed the Pawnee he worked with, but we loved seeing ourselves for just about the first time in a major motion picture. Kevin Costner got himself into trouble with the Lakota when he tried to open a Casino called "The Dunbar" on tribal lands, but the film still is worth watching again.
I've seen all the other films and there's a good message in all of them. Dance Me Outside is about missing and murdered indigenous woman. And a lot of the list is woman centered. The Standing Rock doc AWAKE is good too.
