Wind River is an excellent flick, IMHO in part because it freely references Indians murdering other Indians, as in the central character's late teenage daughter. [/quote]
In the closing credits it stated that missing Indian women are so common they are not even kept track of statistically
On a brighter note I chose the free with ads version on Amazon and they forgot to put the commercials in. It was a really good film. I think I'm going to shoot some steel targets with my Marlin Guide Gun tomorrow.

Do you believe the government really doesn't have those statistics? Take note that I didn't ask if you believed whether the government would give you the numbers or even whether the government would admit to having the numbers.

When he realizes who the bad guys are, he coulda jumped on the snowmobile and hauled ass back ta the trailer, but instead he hasta snipe the bad guys, and by the time he sneaks up on em, the good guys is mostly dead.
One of my favorite movies .... and the pretty little Indian girl .... I've been around her since she was a little girl. She's probably more widely known now from Yellowstone but to us she was always little Kelsey ... she went to school with my two oldest daughters right through HS, they were doing the drama thing together back then. They all kinda moved out to the west coast at the same time although mine are now attorneys we always kinda knew Kelsey was going to try her hand at acting, and she has done well. Her Mom and Dad are very accomplished people ... her Dad is probably one of the top plastic surgeons in the country. She's actually Asian but they keep putting her in Indian and Eskimo roles .... I should say Native American I guess. Very very very sweet precious girl.
Anyone notice her in Fargo?
Anyways, yeah, Wind River is a great great movie.
What you think about, you do ... what you do, you become. In a nation where anything goes ... eventually, everything will. We're almost there.
From the trailer posted it looks like Gil Birmingham who plays Chief Thomas Rainwater in the Yellowstone TV series is in Wind River, too, though not as well dressed and groomed as he is in Yellowstone.
It's kinda like they have a little cabal going-on where Reiner and Costner produced movies are all connected.
Graham Greene plays Ben in Wind River .... he was in Dances with Wolves with Costner and is slated to make an appearance in Yellowstone. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere where 8 or 9 actors and actresses from Wind River have made appearances in Yellowstone.
Gil Birmingham is a gay Native American irl if I am not mistaken, rarer than a hen's tooth.

I believe the common denominator is Taylor Sheridan. He wrote and directed Wind River, and is the writer, director, and producer of Yellowstone. He undoubtedly had a role in casting.
It was a really good film and they nailed so many details right. They missed one big element that no one who has ever been to a rez would know.
Dogs.
So true.
I was telling my bride recently that 40 years ago, every where you went there were stray dogs. All of a sudden, in the early nineties it ended. Except on the reservations.

I don't remember there being stray dogs on the flathead reservation. Or lots of boats in yards or any of the other crap listed here. I know there is none of that on the Onandaga reservation. The Crow reservation is a shyt hole though so I don't believe you can paint with a broad brush.
Guess his ex-wife in the movie knew larry root, she says she would never set foot in Pinedale or something to that effect.

Up north I figure winter must take out a lot of stray dogs, drive from NY to Texas and dogs as roadkill crop up mostly in the south.

Navajo And Apache Reservations in some parts of NM and AZ are pretty bad.
