Summary: Good Indians DO exist
Comment: This movie may be low budget, and the dialog mediocre, but the actors, such as Leif Ericons, L Q Jones, Denver Pyle and Dawn Wells, do a good job of carrying it off. I own the VHS, but I say this move long ago and seem to remember some scenes that were not on the tape.
The story line is really not all that predictable. Winterhawk, a Blackfoot chief, needs medicine for smallpox which is destroying his tribe. His first encounter with the white traders is catastrophic, and he retaliates - for the era, it seems quite logical - he takes hostages to trade for the medicine.
The ensuing chase presents some unforgettable scenery, and delves into the beliefs and philosophies of various groups. This is not the typical "bad Indians" movie so many people were accustomed to in the 70's. In that sense, it was ahead of its time. A lot of people still won't like this movie for that reason.
I gave this movie 4 stars because I think that in its way, it was a cutting edge effort, and as a history buff, it does a creditable job of showing the relationship between Indians and white hunters/settler/missionaries that existed at the time - not all of the bad guys were red.

Summary: WINTERHAWK
Comment: I first saw this movie when it was first released to theaters. This movie was way ahead of its time, a movie about Native Americans that showed them in a good light. The movie was filled with action, love, compasion, and much more. I loved it in 1975 and still love it today. This movie is good for nearly all age groups, has minor bad language, some killing (of course) but without blood being shown etc. You find yourself tearful at the end, a mix of tears of joy and sadness.

Summary: Naive Charm
Comment: If you found the atmosphere of The Song of Hiawatha charming you will like Winterhawk. The director did a good job of leaving the viewer with a sense of something irrevocably lost. Very rough around the edges compared to the slick films of today but still worth owning.
