Interesting enough, but felt somewhat shallow. It seems like it would've worked better as a 4- or 6-hour mini-series.

The story was how Indians agree the reservation and the truce with white man to have peace and after that white man wanted the very same land back becaue it was filled with gold. They wanted to wash their hands and offer the new truce. Honour against greedyness. Important story but the output was a bit sluggish and wandered out of the path. Haven't read the book though.

This was a dissapointing adaptation of the book by Dee Brown. It did not do justice to the times or the book and therefor did not do justice to the Native American viewpoints. Read the Book and try to forget this movie.

This movie did a very good job condensing the Brown book onto the big screen....recommended.
