Gary Farmer (Cayuga) was also in another film by the same director, and it's probably my favourite depiction of the Native American in film, if only for one line (and the same one featured in that clip):
I went with the Ghost Dog clip because I'm fairly certain that, even not knowing which tribe you belonged to, it's a safe bet you probably don't go out every day dressed like Nobody does in this film.
You gotta love that Nobody A) avoids the pitfalls of the "red savage" ubiquitous in westerns from back in the days when they were cheap to film and therefore plentiful, and B) avoids the over-romanticised "Dances with Wolves" depictions of the Native American from the days when we figured out just how raw a deal we gave them. He's not a savage, he's not perfect, he's just got his own culture (and even speaks the Cree language in a few scenes) and it's different from the white man, who he has a very strange and complicated relationship with (mixing the obvious resentment that he has for their policy towards the American Indian, and his idolization of English poet William Blake and Johnny Depp's character, who he takes a shine to mainly because they share a name).
I nice to see a balance depiction in that regard

As western clothing was expensive, hard to get hold of , And often not as good what we were wearing .
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
