Outstanding Film about the Cherokee Language and its People

This is a beautiful movie. There really are no proper English words that can express the importance of this film and I hope all Cherokees everywhere see it. I hope all Americans see it. It's a film about family; a film about community and a distinct American chronicle of an important time in this country's history. This movie was like being inside the language itself: inside the water, inside the music and pacing of the verbs. The movie has that special cadence that connects with the hearts and minds of the Tsalagi people. These communities and families are real, everyday people holding each other up in the land of our birth, since time immemorial.

Wado.
