American Indian Boy ostracized by Classmates

Anyone remember/can locate the film about an Indian Boy (from what I remember) being ostracized by his peers (whom I believe were white)... he used to have ceremonies with eagle feathers/his tribe (I believe) and eventually puts feathers on his arms, turns into an eagle and flies away.

Any recollection of this film?
