Editorial Review: Description: Screen autobiography of Mary Crow Dog, a woman who survived childhood abuse, endured intra-tribal politics and became an eyewitness to the 1973 siege at Wounded Knee. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - An Excellent MovieThis movie is an excellent dramatization of the book and the events. So many movies about Native Americans end in 1890. This movie shows the life of a contemporary Native American girl/woman and the continuing Native American struggle for land, dignity, respect and human rights.

GOONS doing drive by shootings on the Reservations! Stuff they don't tell you about in history books. Prior to this, I read Russell Means's autobiography, which also gives significant insite into the cruelness of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Both vividly depict the importance and need for AIM to protect the people. I feel this movie accurately portrays a history (and perhaps, ... Read More Rating: - Moving Story from a Woman's PerspectiveThis is a good story that bears re-telling, as all stories of injustice do. The pacing is good and it doesn't get preachy...well not too preachy. The sad story of what misguided but probably well-intentioned Catholic missionary schools did to Native Americans is touched on. That could be a movie in itself. The hopelessness of life on the reservation is effectively shown, too. Of course, the main story is the stand-off at Wounded Knee, and Mary's "hovering on the edge" presence is an interesting ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
