Detailed Bias Analysis

Progressive
Primary
The film's central narrative critiques the US government's historical mistreatment of Native Americans, advocating for indigenous rights and justice, which aligns with progressive values.
This film centers on the historical plight of the Cheyenne people, offering a critical perspective on the injustices they faced from the U.S. government and military. While its casting for some lead Native roles has been historically debated, the narrative itself explicitly critiques the actions of traditional power structures and highlights the struggle of an indigenous group.
Secondary
The film portrays several historically Native American Cheyenne characters, including Dull Knife, Little Wolf, and Red Shirt, with actors of European or Hispanic descent, which constitutes a race swap from their documented historical race.
The film critiques the hypocrisy and cruelty of many white characters who claim Christian values, but it also presents a positive, compassionate portrayal of Christianity through the Quaker character, Deborah Wright. The narrative condemns bigotry and aligns with the virtues of justice and empathy, which are shown to be consistent with true Christian principles.
