COMMUNITY REVIEWS

educational submitted by shumoon on January 20, 2017, 11:11pm This film shows how badly Native Americans were treated over and over again: treaties violated, the humiliating lifestyle of the reservations and the forced assimilation of the young through schools. Needless to say, there is no happy ending.
