Last Stand at Little Bighorn (1992), made for The American Experience series for PBS, was a collaboration with Native-American novelist James Welch (Winter in the Blood, Fools Crow). The film explores the creation of the myth of Custer's Last Stand by focusing on the larger context of the American conquest of the West, using the voices of both sides of that conflict, Native American and white. The Emmy Award film was described by the Chicago Tribune as a “fine experience… allowing us to hear the story of the battle from the Native-American perspective,” by the New York Times as “a moving and intelligent contribution,” and in the Boston Globe as ”Custer wouldn’t have believed it – an Indian collaborating with a white man to write, and right the history.”
