My point is that if these are such sacred places to the Dine, then how come it's been ok for them to rent them to movie companies who then produce movies on their sacred land that make them look like mindless blood thirsty savages? Either their land is truly sacred or not. But to rent that land for purposes that hurt their people in the long run and promote an unhealthy stereotype of them seems to suggest their values are for sale.

You have to realize some things. 1-When these movies were made Indigenous Peoples were treated as far less than equal. 2-Movie companies meant jobs that were otherwise unavailable. 3-No one cared what the Native Americans thought about how they were portrayed.

Times have changed. Those images you talk about are the reason for such strict regulations now.
