The portrayal of Native Americans attacking in a circling formation on horseback, as often seen in Western films, is a dramatized stereotype. While some tribes did employ cavalry tactics in warfare, including encirclement, actual historical strategies were diverse and dependent on the specific tribe and context. These tactics were not about negating numbers but rather about mobility, strategy, and utilizing the terrain to their advantage. Western films often simplify or misrepresent these complex interactions for dramatic effect.
