The extraordinary life of Chickasaw Nation citizen Mary Thompson Fisher is given a heartfelt tribute in this moving look at a culture in transition, and the way one woman used her voice to keep Native traditions and stories alive. Raised in Indian Territory, Fisher left home to pursue her dream of becoming an actress, only to find that her true calling was at home all along. From Chautauquas to Broadway and even the White House, Fisher traveled the world performing Native American songs and stories for heads of state, American presidents, and European royalty. Featuring Chickasaw citizens both in front of and be-hind the camera, this touching portrait starring Q’orianka Kilcher (“The New World”) and Graham Greene honors a woman whose own story was the most inspiring one she never told. -TCFF database

My daughter loved this movie she was 5 years old when she first saw it. I want to buy it for her, where can I purchase it at? I would love to purchase this movie however when I went to the website it said it was not available on DVD. I tried every possible search engine to figure out how to buy it, but there was no information on where or how to purchase it. Please let me know how I can buy this movie. It's a great movie and my daughter is now 7 years old and mentioned the movie to me again the other day and asked if I had seen it on TV. She would love to see this movie again. Please let me know when it will be released or where I can purchase it at. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you in advanced your assistance. Marie

I am the husband of Elva Nava, who played the stunt double for Scout in this film. I was there, and saw her riding so close to the buffalo who were herded by a helicopter. This is something we will never forget. It was totally insane, the crew deserves a huge credit for ensuring my wife's safety and that of the other stunt doubles. These were real, live, wild, viciously angry, raging, multi thousand pound, snorting, killers ready to trample whatever gets in their way, i.e. people making a movie. You can clearly see her face in the group shots of the bikers. Also you can see some great side shots that to me are clearly Elva. Anyway, she looked just like Scout on camera even though she was 21 years old at the time. I hope to get a chance to see her do some other stunt parts. She is a real tough Latina. I hope you like her work. Thanks,Johnny-Mack Barlow

I really enjoyed "Buffalo Dreams." It has been a while since Disney Channel has produced a movie that has focused on cultures. I really liked how they had a family who did not know much at all about Native Americans move into a town that was primarily Navajo. It also gave the viewers a little more knowledge on how some Navajo live.The casting for this movie was excellent. No one could have played Thomas like Simon Baker. He did a GREAT job. And Grahme Greene was a very good choice for the role of the grandfather. He is such a wonderful actor.This was very well done and I recommend it to anyone who likes Disney Channel original movies.

Buffalo Dreams was so much better than I thought it would be! I thought this movie would be a wild west movie but it was pretty cool. The main character Josh is a BMX rider and Thomas is a worker. Thomas, Scout, his little sister, and Moon must teach Josh how to respect the Navajo traditions. Thomas, who is Navajo, doesn't like his culture, while Moon, who isn't Navajo, wishes he could be. Scout can't talk, but she finally does in the end so she can save her brother from a terrible death. This movie shows how two different people can help each other in weird ways. People develop a lifetime of friendship in weird ways! Things happen in mysterious ways.
