Les Indiens1964
This French television production by Pierre Viallet tells the story of the Indian Mato, portrayed by Alain Emery. A total of 26 13-minute episodes were filmed in the Sologne plateau and the Alpilles area of the Camargue. Writer-director Pierre Viallet explained that the series was an attempt to present a historically accurate representation of the American Indian rather than the cliche-ridden depictions seen in Hollywood cowboy-and-Indian movies and TV shows. . In the very first episode, Mato gets into trouble. He wants to marry the Indian girl Wany, but her father, Chief Tanka, refuses to give his consent. However, when Mato presents him with horses captured by the enemy, the chief releases his reservations and gives his daughter to the young Indian as a wife.
