White people are represented to the natives by good looking white man.
Good looking white man is stalked through the woods by beautiful native girl. Deus ex Machina answer for why they miraculously speak the same language despite being from different worlds.
Oops, she happens to be the chief's daughter!
Beautiful native girl teaches good looking white guy about their connection with nature, most importantly through a spirtual tree.
Good looking white man and beautiful native girl develop a romance while she teaches him about her native ways.
Beautiful native girl might have left out the detail that she's already spoken for by a member of her tribe.
Well, good looking white guy also left out the fact that he's working for the evil foreigners out to steal the land of natives for mining purposes. Deception works both ways, friends.
Native folks don't cotton to deceptive foreigners, so they chain our hero up. (Sorry loyal readers, James Cameron has a lock down on pictures like Fort Knox. Get the DVD, an identical scene is there, I promise.)
Evil invaders decide they're through playing nice with the savages and begin their all-out assault on the land. Poor victimized land.
Evil invaders give up their cause, having been taught a hard lesson by the natives and return to their home world.
Let's not forget some other important scenes:-Native girl diving off into an abyss, at the shock of good looking white guy who is impressed by her obviously thorough knowledge of the land.
-Native girl has to literally free whitey from the bonds her tribe has placed on him, and save his life in the climax.
-Our handsome hero must face down his evil superior officer in the climax.
-Members of the foreign invading party feel sympathy for the natives and change sides.
-Native girl's betrothed is killed by a foreigner
I could really go on, but I think you get the point.
I'm just gonna say it: Disney did it better!
