Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee (2007)

Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee is a 2007 television film adapted from the book of the same name by Dee Brown. The film was written by Daniel Giat, directed by Yves Simoneau and produced by HBO Films. The book on which the movie is based is a history of Native Americans in the American West in the 1860s and 1870s, focusing upon the transition from traditional ways of living to living on reservations and their treatment during that period.

The following weapons are seen in the movie Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee:


Handguns

The Colt Single Action Army in the 7 1/2" barrel length is the most common revolver seen in the film. It is used by both native Americans, US soldiers, and Indian agency police officers.
