Brings History alive

This documentary is so fantastic, I hardly knew that it was one. The photography is brilliant, and it is a well written factual film. It makes you feel what the Indians mush have felt at the injustices they suffered. 500 NationsKevin Costner did a fantastic job, as did the rest of the crew. I actually felt like I was on the Trail of TearsThe Trail of Tears: Cherokee Legacy, and at Wounded KneeBury My Heart at Wounded Knee. I now have a much deeper respect for my ancestors, well at least the Red ones. October 30, 2008

500 Nations gives a good overview

I use this collection in my middle school classroom to help teach about what the Americas were like before Europeans. With current educational pressures, many students do not receive the basics in American history/geography/social studies; 500 Nations helps correct this error. Discussions by people from these nations give the non-European perspective of our shared histories. The CGI are well-done and gives the viewer a glimpse of what these socitieis were like. Factual, entertaning, and engaging; I would recommend it to any teacher. July 30, 2008

Every American should view these!

These DVD's are some of the best I have seen from the Native American point of view. It follows the history of North American Natives as they saw it. If all you get out of these is that there was a bunch of killing and enslavement than you missed the point.

What a tragedy the Natives endured. What an injustice that took place to such a peace loving and nature loving people. This wrong can never be made right. The saddest part of it all is the life the Natives are left with today.

These DVD's are just the first chapter of a sad commentary about the Natives. This commentary is still going on. May 29, 2008

Native American History Reborn

This is an awesome Movie. I watched the entire movie (4 dics) in one sitting. It is a great way to dispel myths about how the West was settled and how the Native Americans responded to being driven from thier lands. It provides an overall picture from both the Indians and the Invaders. Great Addition to any Library. May 18, 2008
