Well, there's literally thousands. It's like asking about films with songs in
them.

Start with reading Keving Brownlow's "The War, the West and the Wilderness"
(the West section, obviously) and go through Elizabeth Weatherford's 2-volume
set Native Americans on Film and Video.

We have on video, by the way, The Silent Enemy, mostly starring Ojibways,
except for the leads, and In the Land of the War Canoes (Head Hunters) with the
Kwakiutl.

There even used to be an organization in Minneapolis/St. Paul that produced
and distributed only films by Native Americans.

And here's a websearch that has a few more books:
