Note(s) : It is 1953. Thomas Wazhushk is the night watchman at the first factory to open near
the Turtle Mountain Reservation in rural North Dakota. He is also a prominent Chippewa
Council member, trying to understand a new bill that is soon to be put before Congress.
The US Government calls it an 'emancipation' bill; but it isn't about freedom - it
threatens the rights of Native Americans to their land, their very identity. How can
he fight this betrayal? Unlike most of the girls on the reservation, Pixie - 'Patrice'
- Paranteau has no desire to wear herself down on a husband and kids. She works at
the factory, earning barely enough to support her mother and brother, let alone her
alcoholic father who sometimes returns home to bully her for money. But Patrice needs
every penny to get if she's ever going to get to Minnesota to find her missing sister
