1/10
Not realistic

I do not like how Navajos we're depicted looks like it was filmed over by phx also seemed very truck stop version of native depiction. The woman who wrote the book actually did move to the NN cause we went to school with her daughter . Some kids treated her bad but over all I think everyone was very welcoming , I hear they even got her into a tribal home which is hard even for enrolled tribal members I remember we had an assembly and the principal explained attempts at genocide and the stealing of Native American babies at birth and then adopting them out . Also how the daughter was going to come to our school and we needed to be nice. A boy did beat her up on the bus but he was arrested and expelled. Nobody got away with mistreatment. So I disagree with the quality of this movie and the depiction of actual events and non native actress taking lead roles is annoying. I genuinely would like to know how this family is doing and I wish the genuine attention to native culture was there seems like she moved to the reservation to gather book material and left.
