Powwow Highway
In the film Powwow Highway, Philbert and Redbow are identified as Cheyenne, but both of them express it differently. Philbert was more of a quiet man who just loved to be happy and helpful. Redbow was a man who liked to get involved in sticky situations. Examples of how the two react to different situations was portrayed very clearly when the two set out on the road. Being that Philbert is more of a spiritual guy and doesn’t like arguments, he does everything he can to represent the Cheyenne in a positive way. He thinks very highly of himself for being a part of the Cheyenne tribe. Redbow sees being Cheyenne as one big stereotype. He doesn’t like that people make fun of the tribe and judge others just because they are Cheyenne. He gets into multiple confrontations with people while on the road, and struggles with memories of when he was involved in the Wounded Knee Massacre.
