Reservation!?!

Since when has Seminole county ever been a "reservation"? It makes it sound like all the indian people are poor, live off of welfare programs and are always trying to get drunk. I know plenty who are far better off financially than most of the whites in the county. Seriously, why label Seminole county a reservation when there are indians in other parts of the country who DO live in such conditions and HAVE to deal with the above-mentioned hardships all their lives? And here someone is trying to make a few extra bucks by misleading the public with the misnomer.

....ok, ok...calm down.....Other than that I like this movie and enjoy seeing my hometown area being featured in a Sundance-nominated film. If I'd known of the movie when it was actually being filmed I would have loved to meet Cody Lightning; he sure has grown up since being in "Smoke Signals". lol

It's a long way back to Eden, sweetheart, so don't sweat the small stuff.

Actually, most of the movie was filmed in Hughes County, not Seminole County.

Why do you say its a reservation? In the film there is never any mention of a reservation. Most of the time Imdb film pages are written by a third party and not the filmmakers.

Your right, the term is never used in the movie. The Netflix(where I got the copy I watched from) site's description for the movie uses the term too. So I'm assuming that the use of the word is caused by something written on the DVD cover art(which I have no access to). Do you own a copy of the DVD and can tell me if they used this word on its cover art?

I think it does say that but I heard the filmmakers in OKC say that they never said it was a reservation- the distribution companies have control over the dvd cover.
