Was actor Dean Fredericks a Native American?
There have been two actors named "Dean Fredericks" (1944 & 1961) and neither are listed as "Native American" although many in the USA can claim some Tribal bloodlines. The Dean Fredericks who portrayed many native Americans in the 1950's and early 1960's and who also played STEVE CANYON on TV in 1958/1959 was of Irish descent.
Did Native Americans meditate together?
Certainly, the drum circles have an element of meditation to them and the "peace pipe" ceremonies (as portrayed in the movies at least) have a deep sense of silence to them. Of course, the sweat lodge has a very strong element of meditation to it as well.
Movies and tv have portrayed native americans as?
The portrayal of native Americans in the media has changed over time, but for the period 1920 to 1970 there was a definite racial prejudice, especially in Hollywood films. This may have reflected a much wider prejudice. One famous American director was asked why he never used genuine natives to play the leading characters in his western movies - he replied that "audiences dio not want to see ugly people up there on the screen". White American actors, Mexicans and others were regularly cast in the speaking roles of native Americans, with Navajos generally taking all the supporting roles (even when they were portraying Sioux, Cheyenne, Comanche or anything else) - the women's hairstyles are a give-away. In some portrayals, such as "Last of the Mohicans" and "Drums along the Mohawk" native Americans are seen as bloodthirsty savages. In others, such as "Cheyenne Autumn" they are downtrodden, peace-loving victims of white aggression. Neither portrayal is accurate. In the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s more "accurate" portrayals were produced, but even these are far from the truth. Dances with Wolves is full of detail errors, some of them glaring, yet it was billed as being "completely accurate". At least genuine native American actors and actresses are now being given lead roles and speaking parts - even if they have no knowledge of their own tribe's traditions and appearance; a typical example is that they forget to remove their eyebrows, as almost all historic native Americans did. Such traditional things are today sadly forgotten.

How does the movie portray the Native Americans in Dances with Wolves?
Mostly in an almost un-human fashion. Usually you see Native Americans attacking to chasing 'White Men' but I do believe that there are some Television Shows and Movies that portray them in a positive nature.
Movies and television are largely responsible for the negative image most people have of Native Americans during the European expansion in America in the 18th and 19th Centeries?
True -Novanet

Why do only some of my movies on my passport hard drive play on my tv?
The most likely cause will be that some of your movies are in the TV's native playback format, and some are not. Look for some conversion software to convert the dead movies into the same format as the good movies. (EG: If the TV plays AVI, convert to AVI, if the TV plays WMV and NOT AVI, convert to WMV)
