Most of us get our impressions of what Native Americans wore from movies and television. But who says that they got it right?
They got a lot more wrong than just footwear.
I just want to highlight a very good documentary about how the movies and television portrayed Native Americans. The film is called Reel Injun. It was the work of a Cree filmmaker, Neil Diamond.

Youtube also has some clips from the movie.

I have always wondered why it is the Native Americans that are so popular worldwide. Our Siberian natives were and are very much like Indians (though not so warlike perhaps), but I don’t see tons of books and films about them. Of course there ARE some books and movies, and some popular personalities (e.g. Dersu Uzala and Улукиткан, google for them) but none of this immense popularity of the Indians.
