Whoops. I fell down the Thunderheart rabbit hole. This and Dances with Wolves were both filmed near my home, so they are both very dear to me.

Viewed at a distance, Dances With Wolves might seem like an instance of the White Savior trope. But while Dunbar’s process of learning Lakota language and culture does parallel what happens in many white-savior stories, it’s an unavoidable fact that he does not save them. (To the contrary, they literally save him.)

In the middle of the film he does bring in rifles that allow the Lakota to fight off a Pawnee attack, but this is not the main story, and the Pawnee are never the true threat. This is one battle in a long, long inter-tribal conflict, and it makes a huge difference on one particular day, but soon enough the Pawnee will acquire rifles and the sides will again be more evenly matched. Dunbar only gives this group of Lakota advance access to a technology that we know, historically, radically altered the Plains cultures.

The true threat in the film is white encroachment—not merely the army and their forts, or white hunters and trappers, but more than anything white settlements. And before the final credits of the movie begin, in case we didn’t already know it from history, there’s a paragraph of text on the screen informing us that thirteen years later everything was over and the last of the Lakota surrendered. The film deliberately tells us that Dunbar/Dances With Wolves does not save them and that his efforts will not be enough.
