Summary: I second the Boo to the Amazon reviewer...
Comment: This is an amazing and beautifully done tale. The Amazon reviewer mentioned that it lacked overall structure to hold it together...I think the Amazon reviewer lacks the understanding to review this work! Not only does it have a lovely interwoven structure of myth and reality, it teaches us on many levels (as good stories always do!) while keeping us gently but firmly within the bounds of the story. Coyote and Spider are just so charmingly BAD! My only criticism is that Shane's character was, at the beginning, somewhat flat and predictible, but that melted away as the script unfolded. Overall, bravo to Hallmark for a wonderful production and to the cast for an outstanding performance!

Summary: Loved It!
Comment: This is an awesome video. I loved the difernent stories from all the tribes and how they tied it in to the situation that Shane was facing. the actors are amazing and Eddie Spears is riveting. He is so cute.

Summary: Dreamkeeper
Comment: I like Native American culture. I read the reviews for Dreamkeeper and I bought the movie. I have spent time on both the Pineridge and Rosebud Reservations. The movie for the most part correctly portrays the poverty on the rez. The graphic way of telling the Native Stories was great to watch.Dreamkeeper

Summary: Meaningful on several levels
Comment: The interwoven stories in this movie have entertainment value, historical value, and spiritual/moral value. It's a wonderful family movie. Every time I watch it, I notice something else and it has prompted me to do additional research on historical questions and current issues. I now want to know why the area of the Pine Ridge Reservation is "the poorest zip code in the U.S." This cast and this movie certainly got my attention. Thank you.
The special features included comments from the actors on the influence they were able to have over the dialogue, which was especially meaningful for me. I would love to see a movie entirely written, produced, directed, and acted by Native people, much like the movie 'Fast Runner' by the Inuit of Canada. Dialogue in Lakota with English subtitles would be great. I, too, am tired of misrepresentations in film.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Outstanding!
Comment: The movie cover may look not so interesting, but the film itself is outstanding and creative. Great story. Very well-made. I love the fact that the majority of the characters are Native American. One of my favorites!
