That is not it but I did see that film actually done well if you can handle bizarre & gory I'm only good for like one per year. It is actually called Dream Keeper & is a series of short stories told on a trip across country by an elder with several Natives playing the roles in each story. It was a 2 part series I believe on ABC. I tried to look it up on the net but don't have much time right now & didn't find it in my hurried pace. I hope you find it, a friend of mine saw both nights and said it was amazing. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all of you...Kareen -----Original Message----- From: Larry F.

The movie was sensational - you could laugh, cry, and really think - the special effects were great too. Hope they have more in the New Year - the ratings were Very High per some of the news services - I'm glad - this should give them the incentive to do more.

Your right there David, Metis are alive and well. And we are making ourselves known. There are over 30 Metis groups here in Michigan alone. I've enrolled with the Metis of Canada, since my own Band claims they aren't excepting anymore. Oh well, most of my relation on the rolls, are Metis anyway........so i know no matter which one i'm enrolled with, it's all good company. Hope everyone has a Great Christmas.........Louise . \ David Fournier <eydistrict@hotmail.com> wrote: Beautifully done and great information, but with all due respect the Metis are not gone but alive and well .
