"What Made the Red Man Red?" is a song from the 1953 Disney animated film Peter Pan with music by Sammy Fain and lyrics by Sammy Cahn, in which the Indians of the Neverland Tribe tell their story through dance and song. Some modern critics have described the sequence as offensive due to its reliance on exaggerated stereotypes. Although a similar depiction was displayed within J. M. Barrie's original play, later adaptations have reimagined the Natives.
