Summary: the best movie
Review: I saw this movie in the Hallmark channel, in 2004. I think this movie is simply the best movie i ever seen, it has magic. Not only because the visual effects, the actors are great, but the movie is real native american. Because movie, i bought a DVD player and the DVD disc from Amazon. Since i have the disc, all the family saw it several times, the kids are very enjoying the stories.

Summary: Great show, dvd promissing.
Review: I used my DVD recorder to record this. Unfortunatly I made a boo boo and recorded the first part in EP mode so it isn't as detailed. THe second part I am recording in the High detail mode (only 2 hours per disc though). When the DVd is released I will be the first to buy it. Hallmark stated it will feature dolby Digital 5.1, additional features of the cast, Wide screen, and more. A great show and cast.

Summary: Beautiful--this should have been made a long time ago!
Review: I was so happy to hear that a film was finally going to be made of the stories of the diverse Native tribes of North America, with actors native to those tribes, none the less! The story of a young man who has made bad decisions in life who is driving his grandfather to the First Nations pow wow, while hearing stories of heroism, danger, tragedy and love is beautifully done. The acting is strong, and it was great to see the beautiful, authentic costumes of the diverse cultures. This film was a long time coming, and I really hope this is the beginning of a new chapter in Native film in the United States. For too long, indigenous people have been played by Whites with black wigs and ugly, unconvincing makeup. Also, the portrayal of natives in mainstream media is embarressing and offensive (yes, even in this day and age--things actually haven't changed that much since the days of John Wayne). We need to honor and remember the great contributions native people have made in their communities, and in their traditions that were alive long before other groups of people immigrated here. Not all people know that there are over 500 indigenous groups. Think of all the cultures within those groups, and all of the stories that must exist that haven't been told to a mainstream audience. I hope that Dreamkeeper becomes an inspiration for the new generations, and that they take the torch and run with it!

Summary: Everyone should see/own this movie!
Review: Like many others who watched the TV special, I was moved to tears. It was so great to see the different stories handled with love and respect. I grew up listening to Blackfeet stories my father would tell us on long trips across Montana as we traveled to visit relatives. The road scenes in "Dreamkeeper" brought back some of my most treasured memories of listening to my dad as he drummed on the steering wheel and sang Indian songs as he told the stories. I live now in the Arctic and my twins are Inupiat Eskimo. They were absolutely spell-bound by the movie both nights - not an easy thing to achieve with active 5 year olds! I just ordered this DVD and look forward to the honor of having it in my home. Thank you to all the people who worked so hard and did such a great job on this important work. And thank you to Hallmark and ABC for your support of this project. I hope there is more where this came from!

Summary: I thank the creator for such a fantastic movie
Review: My family and I viewed this movie for the first time tonight. The main reason I purchased it is because my family is half white, half Native (Cherokee on my husband's side/Cherokee & Chinook on my side). We take every opportunity to introduce to our children, their Native heritage that we feel our "white nation" has pushed aside. I felt this movie would be a wonderful way of letting them see into their Native history. And I was even move pleased to see the portrayal of a Non-Native raised amongst the Native's who's heart beat as theirs. I disagree that this movie did not hold together the magickal impact. I was captivated from the beginning and loved how not just one, but many nations were potrayed in this movie. It was nice to see something of my Chinook side as well, which has been a difficult path to learn of. This movie had us laughing, crying, and excited with each story told. I recommend this movie to anyone who is willing to open their heart, mind, and soul, and learn what it means to walk the Red Road. Although it will not teach you, it will open your soul to the beauty abound and maybe even begin you on your own journey. "There is no word for I or me, only we and us"....I like that. We need more movies like this one. Blessings.

Summary: Awesome
Review: The movie told my lifes' story! I like Shane...had wondered off the "Red road"...my teacher & I worked hard & I finally got back on track! The movie also painted a picture of how I think on a daily basis...that is...looking at situations from both worlds and finding the solutions and resolutions. When people have never experienced "visions" and "vision quests" it's hard to explain them! Many salutes to those who keep "showing" the true ways of my people! I was born in the Black Hills of SD...the "Paha Sapa"...some scenes in the movie brought back many memories. Thanks to ALL!

Summary: it's Greeeeeeeaaaaaaaat!
Review: the special FX are some of the best ever and what a way to tell this country's history....no more boring stuff....all way cool! for the whole family....with comedy tossed in, the FX, the meanings of the stories and the present-day issues all rolled into one fantastic movie that everyone should see. and the best part was seeing people I actually know, there at the end, in the pow wow scene, having gone to the real albuquerque pow wow.
