Movie Reviews of 500 Nations
Movie Review: How 80% of native American indians died
Summary: 5 Stars
According to the native american historians in this documentary series, it was through smallpox, scarlet fever, etc. that white europeans passed on to them. It was not through massacre and bloodshed. Yes, massacre and bloodshed did occur against indians. However, only in the thousands total. Not the millions that the european diseases caused. So please, stop hyping up the Holocaust that never happened. Keep in mind that indians won many of those battles and they too instigated massacres against whites. Whites back then didn't have high tech weapons. They had guns but so did the indians.Movie Review: A truly remarkable film which is worth more than 5 stars
Summary: 5 Stars
This Film, 500 Nations, is more than I could ever have dreamed of, I am
a true believer of the Native American Indian, and after watching 500
Nations it has convinced me about my belief's in that culture.
I have collected and watched every film regarding the Native American,
I have read a few books on the subject, I thought that the book "Bury
My Heart At Wounded Knee" was the best on the subject ever, until 500
Nations, which I put as equal.
Fantastic stories, fantastic filming, well done film makers and crew.

Movie Review: 500 Nations gives a good overview
Summary: 5 Stars
I use this collection in my middle school classroom to help teach about what the Americas were like before Europeans. With current educational pressures, many students do not receive the basics in American history/geography/social studies; 500 Nations helps correct this error. Discussions by people from these nations give the non-European perspective of our shared histories. The CGI are well-done and gives the viewer a glimpse of what these socitieis were like. Factual, entertaning, and engaging; I would recommend it to any teacher.Movie Review: Overlooked & Unappreciated...A Must See for Every American!
Summary: 5 Stars
I didn't even know this series existed until I happened to stumble upon it while searching the web for historical material on Native Americans. Aside from the outstanding production values, the story told will absolutely amaze you. Forget everything you were taught about early American history and watch this with an open mind. I guarantee that anyone with an iota of intelligence will understand how distorted the textbook versions are and begin to realize just how homogenized our national values have become.Movie Review: Native North American History
Summary: 5 Stars
A sobering documentary of European exploitation of the native North American Indians. Highlighting a broad width of varying experiences some of the tribes faced.
A great job Kevin Costner did on this production, pulling no punches, revealing a continuing saga of broken promises, disrespect, betrayal and murder from the Europeans. While the Indians received sickness, disease, heartbreak and death. The most comprehensive presentation I have found on the subject.
