Storyline

A film examining the past history and present plight of the Lakota Indians in South Dakota. Steeped in their culture, the contemporary Lakota are divided - some still maintain their history and traditions, but many are losing their way, seduced by white North American culture, and destroyed by alcohol, fast food, and poverty. Beautifully filmed, this is both a celebration and a cry of despair.
