In the heart of the reservation, a Chippewa elder and a young, half-Native woman navigate the tensions of their divided world. As the elder shares his hard-won wisdom, the woman's resentment of her heritage threatens to tear their community apart. But when a shared crisis looms, they must find common ground to protect what matters most. A poignant story of legacy, identity, and the enduring power of connection.
