That would be a *long* list.  Even films whose screenplays were written
by Native Americans (such as Pow Wow Highway) are often so Hollywood-ized
by the time the final cut is made that they could in many ways be termed
'unsympathetic' (though maybe 'sympathy' is not the greatest quality to
look for, since it had the connotation of something eliciting sorrow
or pity).
