Ive loved this movie for so many years! Now its my kids turns to see a wonderful movie made and starred by our fellow native people.

This is a fantastic movie about coming to terms with who you are. Both Victor and Thomas wrestle with the stories of their past while finding peace with their future. I have watched this movie several times and I hear something new each time I watch it.

Victor: You gotta look mean or people won't respect you. White people will run all over you if you don't look mean. You gotta look like a warrior! You gotta look like you just came back from killing a buffalo! Thomas: But our tribe never hunted buffalo - we were fishermen. Victor: What! You want to look like you just came back from catching a fish? This ain't "Dances With Salmon" you know!
