    From a Native American point of view

    I absolutely loved Michael Greyeyes portrayal of one of the most iconic Native people in history. It was refreshing to see a Native person being seen as a 3 dimensional person with a sense of humor, intelligence, humility, etc. I am a native woman and was delighted to see our people seen as people. The story wasn't word for word accurate but the heart of the story was captured with grace & dignity. Thank you for making this film and respecting the person & people it represents.

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The movie implies Caroline and Sitting Bull had no connection prior to her arrival in Standing Rock, which is inaccurate. They began corresponding around 1888, after Sitting Bull was in Washington, discussing fair prices for Dakota land and maps of the government's plans to reduce the size of the tribes' reservations at length.
    • Goofs
      When Sitting Bull speaks at the public hearing of the Allotment Act, he speaks of many chiefs who have died and are part of the land. One chief he mentions is Rain-In-the-Face, who passed away in 1905, fifteen years after the scene takes place. One can argue that Sitting Bull makes reference to his eventual passing though.
    • Quotes

      Sitting Bull: She's from New York.

      Catherine Weldon: I thought you liked New York.

      Sitting Bull: Too many people with too much. Too many people with nothing at all. Your society values people by how much you have... ours by how much we give away.
