“Six Generations took my breath away, quite literally. If a video can be a page-turner, this is it. For decades now, anthropologists – of both scientific and humanistic persuasions – have railed about the importance of multiple perspectives and “Native voice,” but it rarely happens. In this elegant, hour-long film, that long-lauded goal has been achieved, and then some. This is history as autobiography, foregrounding the power of language and telling a checkered story of cultural survival under extreme conditions. The time-depth is simply astonishing, producing a narrative that is frank, true and sometimes stark. Six Generations is a homerun. I cannot recommend it highly enough.”

"The cinematography for this series is not quite like anything I've seen on public TV or, in a certain way, anywhere," Ric Burns says. "It bridges the gap between documentary and fiction filmmaking." Hartford Courant, April 20, 2009
