I think that it should also be recognized that this is not a solely Native American story. It takes place during world war two. This is essentially the issue facing Horner, how does one compose for a war movie and successfully institute a native american feel. Now, I have yet to hear the whole score, so I cannot assess it fully, but my point is that we should not reason that this score is not worth the full four stars just because it isn't completely native american.
