Well there's the obvious like racism (Indian vs Whites), love/friendship (Dumbar with the Sioux) or loyalty/betrayal (Dumbar loyal to the Union, then betraying them).
But I'm using 'Dances With Wolves' in an advanced English Essay on discovery. It has historical, social/cultural and personal discovery themes.
