Ulzana

GDR-Western, who describes the actions of white settlers against self-sufficient Mimbreno Appacheans trying to settle down in Arizona in the middle of the 19th century. The confrontation with the white Americans changes their situation as the mercantile "gentlemen" want to prevent the Indian tribe to become independent from the white men′s business practices. Thus, they destroy the irrigation plant and chase the Indian tribe in an inhospitable territory where they cannot survive. Led by their chief Ulzana, the Appacheans thus start a bitter fight to preserve their habitat.
