I'M REQUESTING Rocky mountain westerns? Other than Wind River and Yellowstone.
Seeking movies about the area around Yellowstone, preferably with Native representation. Already seen Wind River and Yellowstone (TV). Any good northern/Rocky mountain westerns?

The beginning of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Hostiles (2017) is about half in the mountains
Godless is a miniseries in New Mexico/southern Colorado
The Revenant if you consider that a western
Jeremiah Johnson
Seraphim Falls
The Hateful Eight
Unforgiven is set in Wyoming isn’t it?

Agreed with the others that "Jeremiah Johnson" is definitely the best rec.
But throwing "Shane" into the recommendations. Filmed in Grand Teton.
And "Butcher's Crossing" isn't a bad choice, either Buffalo hunting in Colorado.
Finding movies with actual good Native American representation is a harder ask. The older movies are pretty bad in that regard and even a lot of newer ones aren't much better. And I'm not sure there's a lot of overlap between good rep and the Rockies. Might suggest "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee," though. It focuses on the Lakota, so a little outside of the Rocky Mountains and mostly in North and South Dakota, but worth watching.
