Native Americans in the United States (1970), "Billy Jack" (1971), and "The Outlaw Josey Wales" (1976), which depicted Native Americans in minor supporting roles. For years, Native people on U.S. television were relegated to secondary, subordinate roles. During the years of the series "Bonanza" (1959–1973), no major or secondary Native characters appeared on a consistent basis. The series "The Lone Ranger" (1949–1957), "Cheyenne" (1955–1963), and "Law of the Plainsman" (1959–1963) had Native characters who were essentially aides to the central white characters. This continued in such series as "How the West Was Won". These programs resembled the "sympathetic" yet contradictory film "Dances With Wolves" of 1990,
