More than Bows and arrows Overall‚ I found this film very surprising. I never realized how many Native American achievements that have been overlooked in today’s society.

I do not think we need to know that isn’t them truly expressing themselves however that seems to be what they think they are doing. You shouldn’t express yourself via the internet it should be what you do in certain situations and how you do it that express who you are. Today‚ many seem to not to want to keep some mystery about
