5.0 out of 5 stars Realistic--Great!, December 25, 1999
My wife and I live in a primarily Native Alaskan Communmity far north of where this movie took place. But the setting and the people and the rich profile of a primarily-subsistence, Native community seems to be right on target. All of the actors do a first-rate job, and the movie is a fine blend of aspirations,and idealism with the realities of Bush Alaska life. We watch it every Christmas and often times inbetween. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars A deeply moving film p, February 18, 2005
By A. Newton (Fairbanks/ England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Having lived in Alaska for 7 years after moving from Europe, I was pleasantly surprised when I found this film recently. The film portrays the needed sensitivity to other cultures and shows how misguided we can be to judge cultures with our own values. the simplicity and realism found in the story's plot makes for a moving experience as it is easy to relate to the priest's perspective. As the film progresses you find your own feelings and prejudices are revealed and altered.

Definately recommended, prepare to be stuck by the elegance of this film.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice reflection of an Alaska Native Community in the 70's, June 23, 2004
By C. Sitka "Puter Geek" (Beautiful Sitka Alaska) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'm an Alaska Native and grew up in a small town in the Southeast. I'm in my early 50's now, and many times I moved to "the lower 48" to work or live with family. Very strange-- There is an urging when you're younger to move outside of Alaska because it's so remote compared to Stateside. You miss all the malls and variety of places to eat and things to do. After living south for a while, I would start missing the trees, mountain, streams and water where I grew up. When I would become fed up with living south, on some channel on tv, I would find this movie! I would see the trees, all the water and beauty, and within a short time I'd be packing to return to Alaska! This movie became my signal more than a few times to return home. Anyway, I enjoyed the movie and listening to the older people in the village reminded me of my own elders as I grew up in Alaska. I love this movie, the only reason it got one star less is because I wish they would have put out the mini series copy instead of the movie length version. Hoka Hey! And enjoy!
