Narated by Fess Parker who was a Disney Favorate, who portrayed Davy Crocket and Jeff York who was Mike Fink in Davy Crocket and Joe Crain in Andy Bernett. The Cast also included Iron Eyes Cody, who was later famous as the Indian with the tear in his eye, Iron Eyes made a career of portraying Indians, claiming to be a Cherokee when he was actually an Italian American actor. As is common they make the Pawnee Indians the Bad Guys, as was also done in Dances With Wolves, and Little Big Man, while in reality the Pawnee were so prayed upon by larger tribes like the Lakota and Cheyanne that they allied with the white settlers and often came to their rescue driving off attacks by the hostile Lakota. I remember seeing the film when i was a boy back in the 1950s. Back in thoes days TV and movies taught kids to be proud of their history and heritage.
