Apache Culture
Could anyone tell me how accurately Apache Culture (Music,Dance,Art etc)was portrayed in this movie ? Thanks in advance.

Pure Hollywood, for the most part.
UPDATE:
I have since heard that the earlier Apache dance scene is a more or less authentic portrayal of the young women's puberty ceremony. But the wedding scene is pure Hollywood.

I don't know much about the culture of the various Indian tribes and nations. What I do know about those cultures makes me very dubious about Hollywood tribal lore. I know a bit more about the culture of the "Cavalry tribe" which would be much easier for Hollywood to research, so knowing how much they make up about the comparatively familiar culture of the "Cavalry tribe" makes me consider that Hollywood mostly made up and continues to make up the cultures of the various tribes in films.
