This documentary functions as a traditional historical account of 19th-century warfare. The narrative is constrained by its period-specific focus on military maneuvers and the clash between the U.S. Cavalry and Indigenous nations. The film relies on a historically male-dominated, Western-centric framework. It prioritizes the military career and eventual defeat of General George Armstrong Custer rather than exploring diverse perspectives that reflect multiple aspects of identity. While the subject matter inherently involves non-white populations through the Lakota and Cheyenne, the storytelling leans toward the perspective of the U.S. forces. It does not appear to actively disrupt traditional hierarchies.
