Movie Reviews of 500 Nations
Movie Review: What pain hath we wrought!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am deeply involved with Native American history, especially the Navajo (Dine')nation. I knew that this being a program that Kevin Costner assigned himself to would have great passion and courage in telling this story. But, I had only the most shallow of understandings prior to watching this.
Truly, I was naive about so many aspects and networks of information that segued seemlessly into one another. The more I viewed the more I continued to ask myself and shake my head...what are we (White people)about to do next.
There are so many jewels of information in this that I will have to watch it many more times to gain further insight.
Yes, it is worth your time to purchase this and become a discoverer of untold history,...at least in the concept of American History as we have been shared with through our classrooms and our TV and movies.
There is one last thing that, while ,not the experience of the pain, is most readily the cause for such. Observing the Spaniards and English expeditionary forces who came to the new lands with some supposed idea of promoting Jesus I was appalled, aghast...near tears.
They found a sweet and loving people who, without ever hearing of God's Son were far more emulating of His nature and ways than they ever showed in their dealings with Native Americans. In the name of Christianity they butchered God, the land, and those Native Americans who were here long before we were.
I am ashamed of how our country came together for the road traveled is as important as the destination we arrive at. I hope that viewing a documentary such as this we, in our own way, can somehow right one wrong to this lands first peoples.
