A Different American Dream

I watch ANYTHING NATIVE AMERICAN in video & dvds. Action movies BORE ME as do Drama... Like junk food you're left empty, looking for your next hit literally to fill the void. I'd rather watch subjects on Spirituality and true life, other peoples experiences and points of view. I feel more grounded in "LIFE" watching these or European type movies which tend to show a slice of life. This is well filmed showing contrasts between natural land vs industry. Showing the conflicts of money upon their lives. The title is spot on ! They touch on how people who never had money who then get it...basically make mistakes and don't know how to use it as a tool, and that is worldwide. My neighbor came into $$$ years ago, invested in oil stocks and quickly lost it all in a glut. Another friend inherited $100,000 went to "a financial advisor" and lost it all. With money comes fears of losing it, what to do with it, or just plain addictions of any kind. It's not easy at all. My learning experience with it was the paradox "Too enjoy it you have to spend it, yet security comes from not spending it." Ha ! We all need to see this movie !

For those who always ask, "Why don't Native Americans assimilate?", this documentary answers that question.

It's an amazing story of fortitude, struggle, honesty, tradition, heart, spirituality, loyalty to the planet & all the life thereon - and a last chance to preserve the most important cultures in North America, before it's too late.

Beautifully done!
