When did Lou Diamond Phillips play Jim Chee? I've only seen the adaptations on PBS where Adam Beach is playing Chee. Beach was the Navajo Code Talker in the movie Windtalkers, and he also played Ira Hayes in the recent Flag of our Fathers. Interestingly, Beach is not American, he's Canadian, born in Manitoba.

I didn't like the changes made to the stories by whoever wrote the screenplays for PBS. The tales are really rich, and a lot of that was lost in those video adaptations.

Turns out it was 1991, 'The Dark Wind'. Didn't think it was that long ago, seems it was....

I agree, the original stories are good enough to stand on their own without so called 'improvements'.
