i loved this movie from the start. got it on vhs as soon as it was released. every year since i started collecting dvds, i have searched this title. FINALLY, it is out on dvd and i don't have to run off a copy from my vhs, plus it has wonderful extras!

ryan black and rest of the cast do a great job presenting 'the rez' in the present. as a story about two guys trying to get off 'the rez' by going to school on scholarship (to be mechanics), it shows how hard it is to even try!

and after watching this darker movie, try the slightly lighter side, by getting the series, 'the rez', also starring ryan black, which is both funny and depressing at the same time.

Pow Wow Highway held the rank of #1 Indian Cult favorite for the last decade plus, but this is so good I had to buy a second tape since I wore out the first one and now am looking for a copy in DVD. GREAT movie! It gets better every time you watch. I recommend sharing it with friends.

The journey the young actors take during this movie is, at times, humorous and, other times, heartbreaking.

Wonderfully acted. Chemistry of all the characters is beautifully portrayed by an extremely talented cast.

I first saw this sometime in the 1990s, and after renting it at least once per year since, finally decided to buy a copy. It is a lower-budget film, but so well done that the story transports the viewer to the point that you forget the beginning premise. The acting is superb. I highly recommend this!

although it has been a while since this movie came out, it's view into the lives of youth on the rez still remains fairly current. the excellent acting is a wonderful exercise of 'under acting, which lures you farther into the tale with no over the top distractions. this is a ride through a rez with an outstanding twist at the end. i would rate this movie: total NDN.

Makes me miss my Native friends/family. Cultural relevancy, dark humour and real Native issues. It also shows the respect given to people from outside the culture. Sad such stories have to be told, but better told by First Nations people. I know it is a story, but truth in it.

this dvd shows a couple of different things. It touches on the subject of reproduction and how families are involvd, and it shows
a sister-hood not known very much in our society. Plot is very good and the ending is a surprize This is an education of sorts regarding
how some reservations and tribes handle problems. I highly reccomend
watching this particular dvd.

This was a wonderful movie with an extremely talented group of young Native American actors. Highly recommended.

I like this move ever since it was out on video tape. Me and my sister realy like it.

I love this because there is no hint of the noble savage stereotype. It touches on one of the biggest social problems in Native America today: native women being targets of ethno-rape and violent attacks. If you have a mind for revolutionary justice, the women take revenge and get away with it at the end. Main characters are so funny. If you like to see Indians making fun of whites, this has the forever classic scenes. You have to cheer when Michael Greyeyes' character beats up the cops who arrested him for no reason. So many good scenes and original storylines. Great movie.
