HBO Video presents an epic movie event released on DVD for the first time on February 4. Inspired by Dee Brown's bestseller , Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee is an all-action feature-length drama starring Aidan Quinn and Anna Paquin that explores the tragic impact the United States' westward expansion had on American Indian culture, and the economic, political and social pressures that motivated it.
The HBO Films event begins powerfully with the Sioux triumph over General Custer at Little Big Horn. From there the action intertwines the unique perspectives and struggles of three characters: Charles Eastman (Adam Beach), a young, Dartmouth-educated Sioux doctor held up as living proof of the alleged success of assimilation; Sitting Bull (August Schellenberg), the proud Lakota chief who refuses to submit to U.S. government policies designed to strip his people of their identity, dignity and sacred land; and Senator Henry Dawes (Aidan Quinn), one of the architects of the government policy on Indian affairs. While Eastman and schoolteacher Elaine Goodale (Anna Paquin), work to improve life for the Sioux on the reservation, Senator Dawes lobbies President Grant (Fred Dalton Thompson) for more humane treatment, opposing the bellicose stance of General William Tecumseh Sherman (Colm Feore).
Published in 1971, Dee Brown's book is one of the foremost works documenting the systematic subjugation of the American Indian during the latter half of the 19th century. It has sold nearly five million copies and has been translated into 17 languages.
From Brown's encyclopedic tome chronicling the fate of the Dakota, Ute, Cheyenne and other tribes, the film focuses on the events leading up to the massacre of the Sioux, which many consider one of the most grievous atrocities in United States history
answer- little big horn
good luck
