@ReelNatives @oxley264 @WesternScholar @WesternLegends @CI_Magazine Though I know this went through WB marketing and may not have involved the director's input, but still, this is a very Ford thing to have the natives included like this.
@chrisyogerst @ReelNatives @oxley264 @WesternScholar @WesternLegends @CI_Magazine How so? I’m underinformed and curious!
@tangoldman @ReelNatives @oxley264 @WesternScholar @WesternLegends @CI_Magazine Ford always went out of his way to include the natives near where he was filming. They always had great respect for him. It's fitting that a Ford western would feature the names of natives involved as a way to highlight their work.
