      Audience Member An ok film that hasn’t aged as well as others and on its own it has some problems that at the time could have been avoided Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/13/20 Full Review Audience Member Emotional dramatic version. Like to see an updated version Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review don s Huge fan of Native American culture, and we get a lot of it in this one. The Nez Pearce tribes must outsmart the military or wind up on the Reservation. Not the best of performances, but very interesting topic which does a good job of treating the subject matter with respect. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 130628: When I saw this was another made for TV movie, my heart dropped. I stuck with it however and it turned out to be a pretty good movie. Sad but interesting little piece of history. Features James Whitmore and a young Sam Elliott, both whom I found very enjoyable. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm sure its a fine film; Jim Jones mentioned it during the Jonestown Massacre Death Tape. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member one of the best movies of the horrors against Native Americans Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
