Product Description:

"Dances With Wolves" star Kevin Costner produced this 8-volume series chronicling the history of Native Americans. See individual episodes for descriptions. Hosted by Gregory Harrison.

Description by Warner Home Video:

500 Nations is an eight-part documentary that explores the history of the indigenous peoples of North and Central America, from pre-Colombian times through the period of European contact and colonization, to the end of the 19th century and the subjugation of the Plains Indians of North America. 500 Nations utilizes historical texts, eyewitness accounts, pictorial sources and computer graphic reconstructions to explore the magnificent civilizations which flourished prior to contact with Western civilization, and to tell the dramatic and tragic story of the Native American nations' desperate attempts to retain their way of life against overwhelming odds.

Lots of Info.more direct and to the point from the native american ancestors pasted to the young to be passed again and again.Kevin Costner did an outstanding job by his delivery of words and passion.This made me enjoy the DVDs more as I'm part Crow Indian and am always looking for info. and not one sided as the people are and were than and now.
