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.

Quotes
Catherine Weldon: It's darn hard being brave.

Top review

9/10

A fine movie done honestly

I find it hard to believe that anyone canhonestly give a rating lower than 7.0 for this movie unless it was done for political motive. The injustice done to the native Americans by the white settlers can never be atoned. Cathereine Weldon was a brave woman and she had contributed her share to do the right thing.
