    I loved this movie. Various tales of different tribes told by storyteller Grandpa who decides to take a trip to a powwow, and requests the aid of his grandson to drive him there. Interesting movie and all on Natives. :)

    A fantastic film!!

    One of my absolute favorites!! If you're into Native culture films, this has got to be one of the best in the category to see!

    IT'S A MUST!!!

    Follow a traditional storytelling grandfather and his rebellious grandson who gets into trouble and does not follow the red road. Their journey to the All Nations Powwow is filled with adventure and romance and all the great things that make our oral traditions stay ALIVE!

    Kind of interesting but the framing story of the grandfather and grandson is lame. That ruins the rest of the film but not much. Still the movie still blew.

    Admittedly I didn't get to pay as much attention to it as I normally would.. (I have a job at a video store, and have to keep PG-13 or lower movies on the TV).. I picked it randomly.. What I saw seemed disjointed.. some really great scenes, and then some thrown in the middle th... read moreat seemed almost like a farce.. Overall a decent movie though..
