The advancement in travel and film technology meant that studios no longer had to rely on affordable, locally shot, Westerns as their go-to fantasy/historical genre.

Changes in social norms made the slaughter of Native Americans less attractive as a film backdrop.

The White Hats vs Black Hats good vs evil no longer played in a society that was exploring every shade of grey.

And it isn't just liberals. I see posters on here who insist they are to the right of Attila The Hun talk about "Native Americans"

That may be the most successful brainwashing of our generation -- more than "African American" and even as much as "gay"
