- Wes Studi: What (the Wounded Knee) era did for Indian people was it reawakened an identity that we could be proud of. There were some wrongs to be righted. It was a time where we could stand arm in arm and demand the government and the people of America pay attention to our grievances from the past, as well as to work on the issues of that particular present.

- Wes Studi: (On a movie), my most enjoyable moment is when we get the word that everything is greenlighted and we're on the way to shoot.
