I chose this picture from "Dances With Wolves" because it holds significance to the topic of coexisting groups. This movie shows that American soldiers once thought that Native Americans were savages, but one of the soldiers decided that he could live with them and learn their ways, and as he continued to live with them longer, he found that they were normal people just like everyone else. It is true that we fought with the Native Americans over their land, and this proves that we also can't coexist all the time, but the one alliance that they shared does prove that we can put all differences aside and learn to share the same space.
