This is another post in an occasional series from my dear nonagenarian Aunt Doris.
Aunt Doris
When I was a kid in England I loved to play Cowboys & Indians. (Yes, we played that too.) I always wanted to be the Indian.
Well, I grew up, went through World War II and the Battle of Britain, married a GI, and came to the land of cowboys and Indians.
Years later my daughter-in-law, Chris, casually mentioned she was part Cherokee. Now I have two grandsons who are part “Indian.” Imagine my joy!
To this day I love watching Indian movies. My favorites are: Dances with Wolves; Last of the Mohicans (both of them); and Last of the Dogmen (I love that one!).
I don’t know how many times I’ve watched them over the years, but it’s a lot.
And although it’s not my favorite, I like Avatar too, which sort of has a cowboy & Indians theme.
Hey, I see Avatar is on HBO again tonight. Yea!
Love,
Aunt Doris

How about Little Big Man with Dustin Hoffman and Faye Dunaway? I haven’t watched that one in years (okay, decades) so I’m not sure how it’s held up over time.
What about “Jeremiah Johnson”? Great movie.
I love Chief Dan George in Outlaw Josey Wales, lots of funny lines.
Avatar is my favorite movie of all time.
I am right there, with you, Aunt Doris.

Wasn’t Chief Dan George also in the movie Little Big Man. A great actor and funny.
Shane and magnificent seven are my favorites and Chato’s Land.
