It has been nearly 35 years since Dance with Wolves was first released in 1990. While it was not Kevin Costner’s first Western, as that honor went to 1985’s Silverado, it was the first movie that he ever directed, and it quickly became a critical and commercial success. It was a perfect movie for Costner’s career.
As perfect as it might have been, however, there were some historical elements that it completely failed to acknowledge or respect. Some elements are perfectly depicted, but many fail to acknowledge the reality of life on the American Frontier — and it even fails to honor the book that it was adapting.
The cast of Dances with Wolves was filled with largely unknown actors. Costner was the most recognizable name, and he was joined by Mary McDonnell, Graham Greene, Floyd Westerman, Rodney A. Grant, Jimmy Herman, Tantoo Cardinal, and countless other relatively undiscovered faces. Each played an important role in the story, but they were unfamiliar to audiences, providing somewhat less of a box office draw. Check out their names and roles below:
