There Were Delays
There were several delays during filming due to the unpredictable weather of the South Dakota plains, working with real wolves, and the complexity of the Native American combat scenes. The huge bison hunt scene, on the other hand, proved to be the most challenging to film. The filming of this scene took three weeks and included 100 Native American stunt riders as well as a real stampeding herd of thousands of bison. The sequence is today recognized as one of cinema’s most beautiful, so it wasn’t all for naught.
