Generally speaking, didn't the best westerns NOT include the "generic Indian villain"?


i could be wrong but not a single eastwood movie had indians in it, if there were, it was less than 5 minutes total for the whole movie and they werent part of the story, just background

well beside the outlaw josie wales, that is one that had indians in it

Native Americans are a big part of the story of The Outlaw Josey Wales. It was one of the first times they were not portrayed as villains in a film, and in the end they were a key element of the movie’s closing theme of acceptance.

Definitely more than five minutes of that Eastwood film. But a far cry from earlier Westerns of previous decades where they were the stereotypical villain.

Two Mules for Sister Sara had an Indian attack. Not a big part of the movie, but the arrow wound treatment stuck with me.
