violence
There are undetailed depictions of men being shot and falling of their horses dead or injured. There is a comic fight between two men which features blows to the head and body. In one scene it is implied that a man has been scalped, though there is no detail, with only a knife briefly visible before a man is seen holding a clump of hair.
threat and horror
There are some scenes of very mild emotional distress when a woman screams at the expectation of an impending Comanche attack and also when a young girl looks up at a shadow of a Comanche chief.
theme
One of the main character's displays a discriminatory attitude towards the Comanche, however this is counterbalanced by other characters who confront and contradict the man's views.

violence
There are occasional scenes of mild violence including fist fights and gunfire. Injury detail is minimal, however. A man threatens to shoot a teenage girl but is prevented from doing so by another man. There are also infrequent, non-graphic references to off-screen violence including massacres and scalpings.
additional issues
Characters exhibit racist behaviour including referring to Native American people as 'childish savages'. The work as a whole does not condone such attitudes.
