The sweep and scale of this movie must have been quite startling to the movie audience of that time.And it is still pretty interesting to watch, unlike many of that time which have mainly curiosity value.Some people have wondered whether Indians ate dogs.This is very well documented,certainly the plains tribes did.Most famous books of western travel of the period mention this,such as The Oregon Trail by Parkman,The Plains of the Great West by Dodge,and others.Generally dog was eaten on ceremonial occasions.Griffith had Indian advisers show the actors how to dance, so it is not his fault if the dances were not accurate.
