Good question @cityontheup a lot of the greatest Westerns have no Indians, like Clint Eastwoods films and also truly great films like The War Waggon, High Noon, 3:10 to Yuma, Warlock, Liberty Valance, The Shootist, The Gunfighter etc etc.
As an avid fan of Westerns, I'd say;
The Searchers
Stagecoach
Little Big Man
The Revenant
Comanche
Dances With Wolves
All these involve the "war" between cowboys and Indians and are very highly rated with high scores on IMDB and Tomato.
Movies with Indians often make the Indians out to be the enemy, but a lot of Westerns show Indians in a very honorable light and very much the victim. Depending on the director.
At the end of the day they are just films with a script.

They could probably be classed as period dramas nowadays.

Just had a chat with my 10 year old grandson who had no idea who/ what cowboys and Indians were. You could put this down to a generational thing, not being taught US history and not watching old westerns on the telly. I just found it amazing he didn’t know, so being a film fan, here’s a question. What 5 films would you choose to teach him about cowboys & Indians?
Blazing saddles and Carry on up the Khyber

She Wore A Yellow Ribbon is one of the least unsympathetic of a typical Western towards the native Americans.
And they still aren't treated particularly well to this day
