A 95-year-old Lakota elder, played by elder Dave Bald Eagle is known only as Dan. On a road trip through the Pine Ridge Reservation, Dan cajoles a white author into writing his memoir, turning the unplanned trip into a lesson on Native American life. Inspired by the actor's history, the improvised monologue about the Wounded Knee Massacre is one of the most moving scenes of the film.
“I do not wish to be shut up in a corral. All agency Indians I have seen were worthless. They are neither red warriors nor white farmers. They are neither wolf nor dog.” -- Sitting Bull
