This is an amazing and beautifully done tale. The Amazon reviewer mentioned that it lacked overall structure to hold it together...I think the Amazon reviewer lacks the understanding to review this work! Not only does it have a lovely interwoven structure of myth and reality, it teaches us on many levels (as good stories always do!) while keeping us gently but firmly within the bounds of the story. Coyote and Spider are just so charmingly BAD! My only criticism is that Shane's character was, at the beginning, somewhat flat and predictible, but that melted away as the script unfolded. Overall, bravo to Hallmark for a wonderful production and to the cast for an outstanding performance!
I like Native American culture. I read the reviews for Dreamkeeper and I bought the movie. I have spent time on both the Pineridge and Rosebud Reservations. The movie for the most part correctly portrays the poverty on the rez. The graphic way of telling the Native Stories was great to watch.Dreamkeeper
