With the exception of Dances with Wolves (1990) and other films, this movie will be one of the few films centering around the lives of Native Americans as the focal point during the Civil War.
Eddie Spears (Mukua) can dance both the traditional and grass ceremonies, and is a member of the Lakota Sioux Lower Brule Tribe of South Dakota.
Red Man's View producer Thomas R. Bond II is the son of actor Tommy Bond , who played "Butch" the bully in the original "Little Rascals".
Red Man's View is one of the few films about Native Americans where a 'Caucasian' is not the lead actor, and the lead actors are all Native Americans.
The original film The Redman's View (1909), was made by the same company (American Mutoscope & Biograph Co.) and was praised by tribal associations and reservation leaders throughout the country when it was released over 100 years ago.
