Based on a true story, this riveting western follows a headstrong New York widow as she journeys west to meet Sioux chief Sitting Bull, facing off with an army officer intent on war with Native Americans.

Weldon wrote letters to the federal government on behalf of Sitting Bull and lived on the land for several years with her son.
