I just watched the trailer for this and it looks great. As you may know, my husband is very interested in the history of Native Americans. My sons are heading in that direction, and I guess I am, too!
"This film explores the tragic impact that the United States' westward expansion had on American Indian culture, and the economic, political, and social pressures that motivated it. Premiering Sunday, May 27 at 9pm/8c on HBO."
trailer
We don't have HBO, so I guess we'll be waiting for it to come out on DVD (or if someone wanted to tape it for me, I would love that!)
Just thought I'd mention it for others to enjoy. If you do watch it, let me know what you thought!

Hi Florisita,
We don't have any Native American blood in our family, but my husband from his childhood has studied all about Indians of every tribe. I was never much interested in it until I met him and now I find it very fascinating.
I've never heard of the Keeper books. I'll have to look into that.
Did anyone get to watch the movie?
I'd love to hear a review of it.

Jane, have you read the book? My mother had it in a college class and it was always on the bookshelves but I never have gotten around to reading it myself. She thoroughly enjoyed it, I remember.

This is interesting. I, too, have just gotten interested in native American history after ds14 and I studied some of it this year in American History. So much of it is tragic, but living here in the SE, I'm esp interested in The Trail of Tears, where the Cherokee (mostly) were removed and forced to march west. I have a book out from the library right now but haven't started it.
I also started knitting hats for Knit a cap which makes hats for children on reservations. I'll have to watch for that movie.

No, I haven't read it yet, Jennifer. Not much time to read books these days! But it does sound good.

That was a neat website, Karen. Such cute kids smiling in their caps. It makes me wish I knew how to knit!
