The action centers on the struggles of three characters: Charles Eastman (Adam Beach, FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS), a young, Dartmouth-educated Sioux doctor; Sitting Bull (August Schellenberg, THE NEW WORLD), the proud Lakota chief who refuses to submit to U.S. government policies designed to strip his people of their identity, dignity and sacred land; and Senator Henry Dawes (Aidan Quinn, EMPIRE FALLS), one of the men responsible for the government policy on Indian affairs. While Eastman and schoolteacher Elaine Goodale (Anna Paquin, X-MEN: THE LAST STAND), work to improve life for the Sioux on the reservation, Senator Dawes lobbies President Grant for kinder Indian treatment. Epic in scope, BURY MY HEART AT WOUNDED KNEE is a new Western classic called "...insightful...deeply affecting...visually striking" by The Washington Post. Review: Excellent Movie Yet very Dramatic and Heartfelt!!! - Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee is an excellent movie and very dramatic. I would not recommend it to younger children as it is very graphic, however, I feel that this is what brings the movie out and is more reality based. It took place to begin with at Cedar Creek Valley, Dakota on October 21, 1876 in the Dakota Territory. This place was also known as the Black Hills where there was gold was gold found. The Native Americans and the White men fought over the land because the Native Americans claimed it and the Europeans or the French “white en” want to take it over The fight began and what is known as the, Battle of Little Big Horn, and the white men won and ran the Native American Indians off and they even burnt their teepees down to be mean and cruel to the Native Americans so they would not come back. Some Native Americans were sent off to schools were they were to be taught Christianity and about the Holy Bible. They were forced to be taught about the teachings and were made to take a Christian name from Christian Americans instead of using their Indian names which usually were a sacred name to them. The Native Americans traveled to Canada and the Canadians were so kind to them and allowed the Native Americans to settle on their land and even gave them food and clothing. When the Native Americans began settling down in the different land, the children began getting sick with colds and viruses due to the change in climate and temperature compared to the reservations they were used too and they also caught them from the Canadians. Some of the Native American Indians began to separate and this is where the various tribes came about. When the tribes split they become accustomed to the various religions where they settled. Most became Christians and practiced Christian religions and other kept their Native American faith and continued to believe in the Great Spirits and they also continued to perform Rain Dance Ceremonies and the Ghost Dance. “The Ghost dance was believed to usher in the destruction and rebirth of the world and then the dead ancestors would return.” (The History of Native American Indigenous Religions, 2013) December 29, 1890 was the when the Ghost Dance ended at Wounded Knee due to the American troops killing off all of the Lakota Native Americans. Over all this movie was spectacular and opened my eyes to the way of life as Native Americans. I personally am ¼ Cherokee and sadly I had no idea all this happened. I truly respect the Native Americans as they surely have endured hard times and have had their land, faith, homes, and families yanked right out from under them.

In Invitation to World Religions (p. 48). Oxford. Review: Bury My Heart At Wouned Knee - I bought this film after returning from the Dakotas. We went on a trip called the Legacy of Survival welcoming the Sioux Natives back to Minnesota after 150 yrs. My husband and I felt Honored to be a part of it all and took as many classes that we could fit in during the three days of festivities. After the welcoming event we were invited to an Intertribal Powwow at Shokopee. While there two Decendents of Charles Eastmen,Ohiyesa,That we were with knew how much I appreciated all that I had learned,the kindness and SPIRIT of the Native Peoples so they suggested I watch the film about their Great Uncle. This film is so well done that it moved not only myself the "White Women" but my Native friends as well. This should be a film that ALL children HAVE to see in High School. I had to be in My 50's before I started learning the truth about what really happened in this Country. The Natives were not the Savages but the "White Man" has truly proven himself over and over again,performing acts of genocide on our or I should say the Native Americans own Land. This film teaches you about all the treaty's that were broken to benifit the "White Man" never once telling the truth or keeping his word. I ask you why is all of this left out of American History Books? You relize why we need and are all trying to do away with Columbus Day. I give this Film 6 stars and will watch it again and again. I also suggest any and all of Charles Eastmen's Books.His writings have a lot to teach. As Linda Hogan the Great Chickasaw Writer said in her book The Women Who Watches Over The World... Charles Eastmen was to her a great hero like Crazy Horse to be respected by her Native Peoples..I am not Native but I have studied about them both and admire them with all my heart,they were Great Men worth admiring. Share this film with your Grandchildren it is such an important film for your library as is the book.HO Many Blessings ~~~~ ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004UOHNIY | | Actors | Adam Beach, Aidan Quinn, Anna Paquin, August Schellenberg, J.K.
