Depp and Dior are working with those who were offended. 
"There was never-and how could there be or how would there be-any dishonorable [intent]. The film was made with a great respect for the indigenous people not just of North America but all over the world. It's a pity that people jumped the gun and made these objections. However, their objections are their objections."

"A teaser obviously is a very concentrated version of images and there were objections to the teaser of the small film. The film has never been seen. I can assure you that no one has any reason to go out to try to exploit. It was a film made out of great respect and with great respect and love for the Native American peoples to bring light to them. They haven't had the greatest amount of help out of the United States government."

It's not clear if the full Dior commercial will see the light of day
