To the Sioux

I am fascinated. The more I watched, the more I wanted find out about the Sioux.
The red Indians of America, the ones who fought fiercely to protect their homeland against the invasion of the Americans.

Hereby included a hunting scene – buffaloes hunting, an important source of food and clothing for the Sioux. In this short 8 minute videoclip, I learnt about part of the cultures of the Sioux. Too fascinated was I that I bought the DVD. In Dances with wolves, a +3 hour epic movie, I enjoyed myself very much, awesome, shot in 1990 and winner of 7 academy awards, including best picture.
Learnt to like the soundtracks, composed by John Barry.
