    HILARIOUS! Absolutely brilliant! Loved Adam Beach in this one. One could not help but feel for Michael Greyeyes's character. Oohh!!

    Actually a movie about natives today, and not perceived sterotypes. Makes me wanna go home everytime I see it. "I still got the mornin wood" One of the best lines of all time.

    All of the actors did an outstannding job and it is a wonderful movie dispite the dark theme. This story depicts the realiyt of what some First Nations/ American Indians(Natives) have experinced.

    : I don't want trouble in here. Two things happen to a man in jail. He comes out a killer or he comes out a Christian. Either way, I don't want him in here.

    Wonderful, little-known film. It amazed me how much I liked it despite the tragic theme and all. The actors were unknowns and absolutely perfect.

    Based on a book by W.P. Kinsell and made into a t.v. show later. Could have been better but it gets mired quickly by bad acting. For a Native film it's interesting to watch but not that good.

    Great to see Native actors in REAL roles! Great story, 5 tissues! I need to own this one too, it is hard to find.

    • Frank Fencepost: I don't know what they want. I don't know what they fucking want. Have you ever noticed, it's like there's some conspiracy with women. You look at them, they look at each other. You know they're thinking something, right?
