Customer Reviews
500 Nations a let down
500 Nations
Worth the money but still a let down. We bought this for Christmas and hoped to have many exciting nights of viewing pleasure. Kevin Costner's narration was as expected, and parts of the DVDs were exciting and of great interest, but much too much of it was old pictures with tired and boring monologue. I'd buy it again, maybe........ Just don't have too high an expectation!

Great for your collection!
500 Nations was absolutely wonderful. I like the fact that the story is told from the Indian point of view. If you are interested in Indian culture, history, and learning about all Nations and tribes from the Americas, then this is for you!
Wado!

Brings History alive
This documentary is so fantastic, I hardly knew that it was one. The photography is brilliant, and it is a well written factual film. It makes you feel what the Indians mush have felt at the injustices they suffered. 500 NationsKevin Costner did a fantastic job, as did the rest of the crew. I actually felt like I was on the Trail of TearsThe Trail of Tears: Cherokee Legacy, and at Wounded KneeBury My Heart at Wounded Knee. I now have a much deeper respect for my ancestors, well at least the Red ones.

500 Nations gives a good overview
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.
