I really liked this one since there was an all star cast. I loved how there were different legends told from all over Turtle Island. Most of the stories took place in the Plains however the one from the West Coast as well as the one Haudenasaunee story were real cool! Of course, I love Native women and the ones in this one were sexy! Kimberly Guererro is hot as well as Alex Rice. Those were just 2 examples of the gorgeous women.But I'm surprised that this was only a made-for-TV film and not one to go into the mainstream theatres. Were they worried that it wouldn't make it well enough on the big screen or something? Regardless of how much it would make in the box office, I think it should have gone there anyway! It's stupid just to worry about how much money something is going to make without at least giving it a chance first.But... ANYWAYS... excellent one nonetheless. That's why I gave it a perfect 10.

I am very interested in the history of the Native American Indian and I found this DVD to be a profound and moving record. The acting was superb throughout but especially by Eddie Spears, August Schellenberg and an actor I particularly admire Michael Greyeyes. The accompanying music was fantastic. I found the Directors comments about each scene fascinating, especially the information regarding Edward Curtis the well known photographer. I am a photographer myself and could relate to the methods used in the film to create a sepia effect and short depth of field. I know I will Play this film over and over again and each time will find something new.

As a Native American I hate movies that play out the old "cowboys and Indians" theme, which severely limited the "indian" movies I would watch. I am SO GLAD to FINALLY see a movie that shows Native Americans as we are in real life rather than the traditional depiction as scalp-seeking-savages, tells our stories, and shows how life on the reservation truly is today. This movie (to me,) breaks down a lot of the negative stereotypes made on our people, which are generally fueled by movies. I think it is very important to have movies like this to help dissolve a lot of racial stereotypes, and share our legends with the newer generation. I was amazed when I saw the depictions of stories I had actually heard as a child, growing up in Tahlequah Oklahoma, the Cherokee Nation Capitol. I wish all movies could be like this... as a matter of fact, I think i am going to watch it again right now!!!

This film is, by far, one of the most thoughtful, authentic andentertaining films related to the Native American experience andstorytelling that I have ever seen. Few people know that there areover 500 different Native tribes in North America alone. This film isa great, educational experience. It combines stories from tendifferent tribes related to love, courage and redemption. The acting is strong and the storyline works well as it driftsbetween the contemporary story of a young teen driving hisgrandfather across country to the First Nations pow wow, and thetimeless stories. Please watch this film.
