Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My family watched the DVD last night and it is a great film. It is everything we expected it to be. It really evokes some strong emotions (my daughter started crying), and it delivers this legacy of the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw tribes and other indian people of the area in a frank, straight forward manner. Wes Studi does a wonderful job, and speaks the Cherokee language eloquently as the story of the Cherokee trail of tears unfolds in a long over-due examination of this Cherokee legacy. James Earl Jones' presence is a strong statement in itself, not to mention his unique way of making almost anything interesting and he adds a feeling of authenticity to the film. The closed captioning is a definite plus and the beauty of the scenery in the Cherokee's ancestral homelands was breathtaking. A big thanks go to the Cherokee Tribe and to Rich-Heape Films, Inc. for granting Public Performance Rights to schools and libraries. I will be sending a copy to my sister today. She is the principal at the Wakpala Indian School in South Dakota. She puts the videos and music into the School Library system where they are made available to the students who check them out like they do books.
