@draackje I actually think yin yang concept you mention was addressed in the film. With the indians you of course have the pawnee that are enemies. In the extended version you also have the fact that they kill the hunters who killed all those buffalo for their tongues and hides and the main character has a hard time coping with it. For the military guys you have the liteunant/general guy in the end who actually somewhat bonds with the main character, albeit very briefly.
But yes of course, this could be highlighted a bit more.

Loved it. Beautiful shots of the American prairie and its animals. The story is slow at times, but there are so many great scenes that it's worth it. The story is done many times (pocahontas and avatar come to mind), but this is an excellent effort, where I genuinely hated the army guys and got really intrigued by the Indian way of life. Of course there should've been more nuances (not every Indian should be a good guy, not every American should be violence-obsessed), and the movie should've been shorter, but overall it's a great movie, with many many great shots!
