Good movie but doesn't deserve the high praise it got, ie the 7 Oscars, at least by today's standards.
It's almost 4 hours long yet it doesn't feel like a chore to watch, however it doesn't feel like it rewards the viewer that much either. It's an easy film to watch, where the story is mostly told by the scenes and the character interactions, instead of insightful or eloquent dialogues.
The movie tells the story of an American soldier who at his own request moves to the American frontier. There he meets a tribe of native Americans and through time develops a friendship and is eventually accepted as one of their own. What we see unfolding is the beginning of the end of the native Americans independence, way of life, and even their own live, through the use of force by a civilization that is more technologically advanced, concretely firearms.
The final act is able to deliver an emotional performance.
It's also worth praising the cinematography, but truth be told there was room for so much much more in a movie this long.

John Dunbar: Actually sir, I'm here at my own request.
Major Fambrough: Really? Why?
John Dunbar: I've always wanted to see the frontier.
Major Fambrough: You want to see the frontier?
John Dunbar: Yes, sir. Before it's gone.

John Dunbar: It was suddenly clear now what had happened and my heart sank as I tried to convince myself that the white men who'd been killed were bad people and deserved to die. But it was no use. I tried to believe that Wind In His Hair and Kicking Bird and the others who shared in the killing were not so happy for having done it.
But they were. As I looked at familiar faces, I realized that the gap between us was greater than I could ever have imagined.
As they celebrated into the night the coming hunt it was hard to know where to be. I don't know if they understood, but I could not sleep among them. There had been no looks, and there was no blame. There was only the confusion of a people not able to predict a future.

Ten Bears: You are the only white man I have ever known. I have thought about you a lot. More than you know. But I think you are wrong. The man the soldiers are looking for no longer exists. Now there is only a Sioux named Dances With Wolves. Let's smoke awhile.

Ending Title Card: Thirteen years later - their homes destroyed, their buffalo gone - the last band of free Sioux submitted to white authority at Fort Robinson, Nebraska. The great horse culture of the plains was gone, and the American frontier was soon to pass into history.

This focuses on people for who they are as individuals, disregarding cultural barriers. Hospitality is an undervalued virtue.
