This is great. Instead of how to successfully portray indian life, submit to the Hollywood fiction and act as if your job is to be defeated by the white man. I definitely would have to say myself that my favorite rule on how to play indian would be number 13. "As you lack stirrups, manage somehow to entangle your feet in the reins, so that, when you are shot, you are dragged after your mount." It just seems like in most "indian killing" movies this one is present, even when the indians are somehow riding bare-back. Its crazy how hollywood can invent just another way to make indians lesser than the white man.
