I recently bought and watched for the first time since last century Arthur Penn's Little Big Man.
What a great film. Seeing it again made me feel like a human being again.
The Human Beings [the Cheyenne Indians] believe that everything is alive: not only men and animals but also water and earth and stones and also the dead things from them like this hair. . . . But white men believe that everything is dead: stones, earth, animals, and people, even their own people. And if, in spite of that, things persist in trying to live, white men will rub them out.
--Old Lodge Skins in Thomas Berger's Little Big Man
