    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.

    Absolute Beautiful Movie
    Thank you for bringing this wonderful historical movie to the big screen. Jessica was outstanding, as were all the Native American actors. I had not seen any of them before in a film, they were superb! Sam Rockwell always plays such a GREAT BADASS. He should get a award nomination as well for his work in this movie! My hope also is that Native Americans continually regain their power and their beautiful culture and spirituality stays intact for eternity.
