Our entire family has enjoyed this film for the past 20 years. Two generations of kids have all loved it. Both girls and boys are fascinated by the story and ask lots of questions about the history and culture portrayed. It's a nice change from "cowboy" movies, since it is about Indians (Native Americans) during an earlier time period, before the arrival of Europeans.

This was a wonderful movie. The actress who played the lead was fantastic, as were the mother, father older sister and little brother. I just watched this the other day,and I'm watching the whole movie again today because I loved it so much. What was the song the kids played on their recorders when they invited the chiefs for dinner?
