    The pinnacle of the legendary Western, a more rational view of the relationship between whites and Indians. The protagonist played by John Wayne has an Indian-like killing heart, Martin has half Indian blood, Debbie is almost assimilated by Indians, and the chief Speaks fluent English and is handsome.
