With regard to native Americans, it depends on how you define "savages." In many respects they were/are a far more humane group of people than foolish "whities" can understand. Indeed, the "whities" easily out-savaged them. Hollywood can never show that in its full scope, because it's simply too damaging to the American self-image.
