...the native American boy is banned from his tribe protecting a live eagle from being sacrificed? I vaguely remember this one, how a young boy is assigned the job of taking care of the eagle to be sacrificed at the next pow-wow, and the boy becomes so attached to the eagle that he lets it go rather than let it be sacrificed. In doing so, the boy either gets banned or just plain rejected by the tribe. The boy has many adventures in the desert protecting the eagle from those who still want to use it for sacrifice, and the eagle protects the boy or warns him of danger. I liked this one but I think it was under-appreciated because it lacked the Disney touch of "cute" or appeal that permeated so many of their live-action films. This one was weird but touched me as being very interesting in its odd way.
