That's definitely true. It was created by a bunch of white guys as was the original story. I don't know how problematic the Native Americans are in the book - maybe they should do a total remake of the film? The question though is that is it still okay to enjoy the ride? The movie?
I haven't read the book, but from what I understand it was just as problematic as other works from the early 1900's. I don't think a new animated remake will happen for any classic Disney animated film. They like the live action remakes which allows them to update the story as they see fit while still relying on the core story. Personally I'm still going to take my kids on the ride and let them watch the movie, but I will use it as an opportunity to have a conversation about other cultures and how inaccurate the portrayal in those mediums was.
