While Eastman and schoolteacher Elaine Goodale (Anna Paquin X-MEN: THE LAST STAND) work to improve life for the Sioux on the reservation Senator Dawes lobbies President Grant for kinder Indian treatment.

Summary: Who is the enemy??
Comment: Looking at Bury my heart at Wounded knee just make us think that it is often impossible to define who is the enemy? General Custer did right in defending the americans farmers newly arrived in the west !! But the indians were defending ther own land (they were there for 10000 years!!!). For americans, iran is evil and for iranians USA is the great evil??? Who is right??? You can continue the list if you want. Good luck, it will take you 10000 pages of text in small caracter...

Summary: Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee

Customer Rating:
Summary: Tarnished American History
Comment: I have read a great deal about the shabby treatment of American Indians by the US government and found this movie to be consistent with most of the well researched books on the shelves. Inaccurate presentation of facts is never good, but whatever they might be here, they did not detract from the overall power of the film to tell the truth. Aidan Quinn did a good job of expressing the tremendous conflict Dr. Eastman experienced as well as his inability to completely work through the anger he felt at having to give up the foundation of who he was. A worthwhile movie that demands a thoughtful response.

Summary: Painful watch.
Comment: This well made docu-drama was painful watch as the saga reveals stages of one of the most hideous dealings with a proud culture in American history. After the battle at Little Big Horn where Custer makes a touchy situation far worse, treaty after treaty is broken and a young Sioux doctor is forced to bear witness to the unfair treatment and tragedies experienced by his people. Great performances and the old photos that periodically move across the screen bring an added heart-wrenching portrayal to the viewer of a proud people who were reduced to desperation.

Summary: Not like the book.
Comment: This movie is not like the book and they explain why in the special features. The book is various accounts put together to make a book. The movie has a solid storyline. There are two profanity spots very near the begining that are extreme and not needed. What a tragedy! I am saddened by the history of the Native Americans. This movie is part of a great story of injustice that will never be made right.
