It is trying to convey, in my opinion, two things: One, the bond between man and animal. Kevin Costner's character was "accepted" by the wolves that he was the "man who danced with wolves".
Second, it conveys the "walk a mile in my shoes" theory. Meaning, once he was accepted by the local tribe after being injured, he realized that these people were doing everything they could to survive. That they did have a heart-obvious not because they took him in, but, by taking in another white person when she was a little girl whose family was shot dead and treated like family. They accepted him, too. Once he realized that these were loving, accepting people who resorted to means of "kill or be kill" by the man taking their land away, he was more terrified by his own people then of the Natives. And, he wanted to be a Native then white, towards the end.
This is what the film conveys to me.

it type of feels to me like you've had some quite undesirable reviews with Christians attempting to witness to you. i do not comprehend you in my opinion, in spite of the indisputable fact that it quite makes me unhappy that you imagine that each and each and every one everyone is searching ahead to you going to hell. often times we do comprehend that we won't be able to convince you, yet we ought to assert that we tried. and that i in my opinion does not want to confirm everyone visit hell if i might want to save it from occurring. in basic terms because we predict of it received't artwork does not recommend that our tries are insincere. there's a verse contained in the Bible that asserts that one human being sows, one waters, yet God substances the upward push. surely that means that means that diverse human beings play an element in a unmarried human being coming to Christ. all of us comprehend that notwithstanding in case you do not in basic terms immediately change right into a Christian, what we suggested had an result and and a purpose. i'm hoping that in case you do not realize this now, you'll contained in the destiny, and that you're going to fulfill a Christian that actual cares about you.
