Don't worry Red, I have cable just don't get all those fancy movie channels. It really sucks because I really wanted to see this show and also the tutors. I'm so deprived!!!  |

I know I'm behind the times, but what can I say, I live on the other side of the world... (might as well be another planet...)
I was familiar with the subject and had heard comments for and against the production and had only read the book a few months ago. anyways I finally watched this on dvd a few weeks ago... terrible, tragic events culminating in the events at Wounded Knee. I thought the movie was very well done, and the actors were all great. Anything that brings history to the attention of more people is a good thing in my opinion. Get people thinking, reading, discussing, finding out more....
I had the privilege of visiting Wounded Knee last month, and let me tell you, you can feel the sadness and horror there still... it permeates the ground and the air... Unfortunately, the story doesn't end there. Native Americans are still suffering today. I applaud the fortitude and courage of all those that are holding on to their culture, language, spirituality, and traditions, and working with their young people to help them find their way.
Charles Eastman's story is an amazing one in itself. I had read about him a bit, but hadn't realised he was the doctor at Pine Ridge when the massacre at Wounded Knee took place. If you get the chance, I recommend reading "The Soul of the Indian". If you can't get it in hard copy, you can download it on http://www.archive.org . Charles Eastman also wrote many other texts just as good as "The Soul of the Indian"...
I also recently went to the grounds of the former Carlisle Indian School in Pennsylvania and walked through the cemetery there. I was deeply saddened to see several headstones which said only "unknown". I can barely begin to imagine how those children felt as they lay dying in a strange land, surrounded by strange people, language and customs. I pray that no group of people ever commits such horrible acts against their fellow human beings again; let us learn from the mistakes of the past, not repeat them.
Just my two cents...

There are easier things in life then trying to find a good guy..... Nailing jelly to a tree for example. |
