You have to watch this movie with a mindset of all native american history. It's the story of survival, how one individual with a certain cultural heritage maneuvers through life as not only a victim of the system but also the broken home. Lines are drawn between human beings and ultimately what it means to survive. What does it mean to be indian? This movie paints a gritty picture that is both meaningful and interesting! One conversation in particular in this movie was breathtaking. Try and spot it.

I'm native and live in Oklahoma. So, no one can tell me if this is accurate, or tell me to quit saying "Indian", because that's some liberal white stuff. This movie has AMAZING acting, great direction, and though it's a little slow, I absolutely loved it. Veey accurate depiction of rez life.

Scattered storyline and poorly explained backgrounds on our two teens. We see two these young Native friends shooting a rifle in the woods. One is troubled with a poor home life while his friend is fairly stable. The troubled one decides to shoot a classmate that they see walking alone in the woods. End of part one; we are left with a lot unexplained. Part two (the twist),the young shooter grows up to be financially successful while his stable friend now has a life of incarceration. Incomplete ending.
