I chose two stars because i felt the characterization was shallow. The lead character was a gung-ho do-gooder with no respect tribal values only interested in doing her thing. The male lead was  weak,ultimately promising to always let the presumptuous woman have her own way.The portrayal of the native people was superficial. After 40 years of working in New Mexico teaching and living intimately with Native Americans I can say without apology that this portrayal was based on a "tourist-y" acquaintance with their values and way of life. The language the pueblo people used was not at all true to life. The vocabulary was pure anglo with a sprinkling of "native" terms garnered from guidebooks, lectures or associates tossed in for a false authenticity
