My girls (ages 4 and 6) are absolutely fascinated by american Indians and I am looking for some movies for them. Not necessarily "educational" or documentaries...but fun stuff to watch.
Any recommendations? A little violence is ok...but preferably no nudity, sex scenes, etc.Best Native American Indian Movies for Children?Disney's Pocohontas moviesBest Native American Indian Movies for Children?
Windwalker is a wonderful story.
It was voted #1 by the Anthropological Association, besting Dances with Wolves, Cheyenne Autumn, and a Man Called Horse.
There is a little violence but no gore or blood.
It is suitable for children.
Netflix says,
"American Indian life is depicted with careful attention paid to authenticity and detail in this fine film. A Cheyenne chief relates his life memories to his grandchildren."

Unfortunately they're too young for Dances with Wolves. And they'd probably be very upset when the soldiers shoot the horse and the wolf at the end. But that's a wonderful film that they should see when they're older if they continue with the Native American fascination.Best Native American Indian Movies for Children?
There's a movie called "Last of the Dogmen." It's about the Cheyenne. I think it would be great for kids because it tries to show the American Indian Culture as it would be today if there had been no interference. It does have some violence but nothing that is really blatant.
