He does have a chip on his shoulder - it's why I stopped reading him. I'm all for different cultures telling their story, and it's true that Native Americans have been treated poorly, but any writer needs to know that telling a good story will do more for your cause than going around pissing people off (even if you have a reason to be pissed yourself).
He's a good writer - maybe a great one, but axes to grind are seldom pleasurable, even for those who agree with said axes.

Really?? A "major" motion picture? I looked at the IMDB profile of the film. It looks like it won some minor awards, but it doesn't sound like a major film. Did it ever have wide release? Or was it more .... you know, an art house sort of movie?
