      It is stated in the opening narration, that the story takes place 'before the white man' had come to the Americas, and that young Indian (Native American) boys grow up riding horses. Horses, in their modern form, were not present in the Americas until the 'white man' (Europeans) arrived, bringing them.

    A story and expression of traditional values that have, unfortunately, been forgotten.
    A story and expression of traditional values that have, unfortunately, been forgotten or ignored by most Native Americans that I am very familiar with in today's Northern Nevada. That is the fault of the U.S. Government and the perpetuation of life on the Reservation or Indian Colony. The film however emphasizes the values that we all want to have instilled in the ever growing minds of our children. It is an enjoyable story that has told us how Native Americans lived and loved, fought, and died as they provided for and protected their Families and their Tribe or Band.It's a worthwhile family show and time well spent. It's not a movie for nitpickers. Just enoy the story, the acting, and the cinematography.
