... anyone who says this movie is not nearly complete is saying the truth BUT, if anyone has read the book that this is based upon knows that the entire story would need a protracted series to fit in all that is in the book!
It's heart-wrenching what the whites did to the Native Americans; it is a crime that it is not taught in the schools either. Between the book upon which this movie is based an "The Trail of Tears" a very grim picture of what was done to these tribes is told. As sad and terrible as the true story is, it is nonetheless a part of this country's history that needs to be told in it's entirety. This is a decent attempt to put the massive information in the book into a condensed version but I hope a complete version is some day attempted.
