That's what I was thinking. Or maybe the documentary was made by older people who got a different version of history than is currently emphasized. I got into a fight with my junior hs english teacher once after we read some essay written after Custer's Last Stand about what a noble warrior General Custer was. I said he was a murdering bastard who was only good at killing kids, old people, and women, and Custer's Last Stand happened because the Indians were just defending themselves (the federals were shooting at the villagers and the warriors were trying to protect their families). He looked like I had just pissed on the Virgin Mary.
