- 00:01:04,606 --> 00:01:05,698
- Dear sir,
- 2
- 00:01:06,733 --> 00:01:09,532
- my name is Catherine Weldon
- and I live in New York City.
- 3
- 00:01:11,822 --> 00:01:14,166
- I studied portrait painting as a young woman,
- 4
- 00:01:14,825 --> 00:01:15,913
- but when I married,
- 5
- 00:01:15,993 --> 00:01:18,667
- it was deemed unsuitable for me
- to pursue a profession.
- 6
- 00:01:22,082 --> 00:01:23,754
- Recently, I visited an exhibition
- 7
- 00:01:23,834 --> 00:01:26,553
- of George Catlin paintings
- of American Indians,
- 8
- 00:01:27,129 --> 00:01:28,722
- and my breath was taken away.
- 9
- 00:01:31,008 --> 00:01:32,760
- It was the freedom that struck me.
- 10
- 00:01:34,177 --> 00:01:37,022
- Even inside the paintings,
- the people were free.
- 11
- 00:01:40,309 --> 00:01:44,900
- I discovered that no portrait of you,
- the great Chief Sitting Bull, exists
- 12
- 00:01:44,980 --> 00:01:47,069
- in any of our public galleries,
- 13
- 00:01:47,149 --> 00:01:49,573
- and I intend to rectify the situation.
- 14
- 00:01:52,821 --> 00:01:55,575
- Almost one year ago, my husband died,
- 15
- 00:01:56,742 --> 00:01:58,710
- and I've been in mourning ever since.
- 16
- 00:02:01,997 --> 00:02:02,839
- No.
- 17
- 00:02:11,590 --> 00:02:13,012
- Please stop here.
- 18
- 00:02:22,601 --> 00:02:25,070
- Now my deep grief has finally passed.
- 19
- 00:02:28,899 --> 00:02:31,243
- And I can find consolation in my work.
- 20
- 00:02:44,122 --> 00:02:47,629
- I've not sought the permission
- of my father or my husband's family,
- 21
- 00:02:47,709 --> 00:02:49,336
- so you may think
- I am something of a renegade.
- 22
- 00:02:50,128 --> 00:02:53,473
- I assure you, this is not by nature
- but by circumstance.
- 23
- 00:03:01,515 --> 00:03:03,688
- I've written to the Agent
- to say I'm on my way.
- 24
- 00:03:07,479 --> 00:03:08,856
- "Dear Mr. McLaughlin,
- 25
- 00:03:09,606 --> 00:03:12,904
- I have painted many portraits
- of senators, congressmen,
- 26
- 00:03:12,984 --> 00:03:14,702
- and even a vice president.
- 27
- 00:03:16,071 --> 00:03:18,285
- But lately I took a decision to head west,
- 28
- 00:03:18,365 --> 00:03:21,204
- with the intention of painting portraits
- of Indians
- 29
- 00:03:21,284 --> 00:03:23,287
- who've made their own mark on history.
- 30
- 00:03:23,370 --> 00:03:26,168
- In particular, I'm keen to capture on canvas
- 31
- 00:03:26,248 --> 00:03:29,502
- the last of the great Sioux war chiefs,
- Chief Sitting Bull."
- 32
- 00:03:30,585 --> 00:03:31,677
- Tell her, "Hell, no."
- 33
- 00:03:32,671 --> 00:03:35,469
- She's also enclosed a letter
- addressed to Sitting Bull
- 34
- 00:03:35,549 --> 00:03:37,096
- to be delivered in person.
- 35
- 00:03:48,437 --> 00:03:51,282
- New York liberals stoking the flames.
- 36
- 00:03:52,691 --> 00:03:54,534
- When she gets here, arrest her.
- 37
- 00:04:43,033 --> 00:04:44,125
- Hello?
- 38
- 00:04:45,619 --> 00:04:47,963
- - Fresh linens, ma'am?
- - Oh, yes, please.
- 39
- 00:04:49,956 --> 00:04:52,380
- - How long till we get to Omaha?
- - Half a day.
- 40
- 00:04:57,297 --> 00:04:59,425
- - You're an Indian, aren't you?
- - Yes, ma'am.
- 41
- 00:05:00,050 --> 00:05:02,223
- - Which tribe?
- - Presbyterian.
- 42
- 00:05:06,389 --> 00:05:10,394
- I'm heading to Standing Rock Reservation.
- I'm going to paint Sioux Indians.
- 43
- 00:05:11,061 --> 00:05:13,780
- Have you ever been to Standing Rock?
- 44
- 00:05:15,941 --> 00:05:17,988
- The Sioux hunted my people like rabbits,
- 45
- 00:05:18,068 --> 00:05:20,162
- cut out their hearts and fed 'em to the dogs.
- 46
- 00:05:23,615 --> 00:05:25,367
- You call me if you need any more towels.
- 47
- 00:05:36,586 --> 00:05:38,403
- Ma'am.
- 48
- 00:05:52,018 --> 00:05:52,860
- Thank you.
- 49
- 00:05:59,317 --> 00:06:00,906
- Forgive me, ma'am, but, uh...
- 50
- 00:06:00,986 --> 00:06:04,115
- very few unaccompanied ladies
- travel beyond Omaha.
- 51
- 00:06:04,197 --> 00:06:06,495
- Then they are missing some rare beauty.
- 52
- 00:06:08,368 --> 00:06:10,540
- - You're not a soldier's wife?
- - No.
- 53
- 00:06:10,620 --> 00:06:13,624
- Soldiers' wives don't see the beauty
- of the prairie, only its hazards.
- 54
- 00:06:17,752 --> 00:06:20,722
- Well, are you gonna make me guess?
- 55
- 00:06:22,632 --> 00:06:24,225
- You seem very good at it.
- 56
- 00:06:26,094 --> 00:06:27,265
- You're a missionary.
- 57
- 00:06:27,345 --> 00:06:31,520
- Oh. No, unfortunately,
- I don't have the certainty.
- 58
- 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,228
- Well, the only stop left
- is Standing Rock Reservation.
- 59
- 00:06:34,311 --> 00:06:38,316
- If you're not a soldier's wife
- and you're not a missionary,
- 60
- 00:06:39,524 --> 00:06:41,988
- what other business could you possibly have?
- 61
- 00:06:42,068 --> 00:06:44,036
- - I'm a painter.
- - A painter?
- 62
- 00:06:45,238 --> 00:06:48,492
- Yes, a full-time painter.
- 63
- 00:06:49,701 --> 00:06:51,790
- I'd guess you came out here
- from New York City.
- 64
- 00:06:51,870 --> 00:06:52,916
- Why?
- 65
- 00:06:52,996 --> 00:06:54,793
- 'Cause New York is the headquarters
- 66
- 00:06:54,873 --> 00:06:56,962
- of the National Indian Defense Association.
- 67
- 00:06:57,042 --> 00:07:00,171
- From time to time, they send
- their political agitators out west
- 68
- 00:07:00,253 --> 00:07:01,800
- to stir things up on the reservations.
- 69
- 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,301
- I guess that's closer to the truth.
- 70
- 00:07:03,381 --> 00:07:05,258
- I just told you, I'm a painter.
- 71
- 00:07:05,342 --> 00:07:07,264
- Painters can be agitators, too. Often are.
- 72
- 00:07:07,344 --> 00:07:08,766
- So, now I'm a spy?
- 73
- 00:07:09,930 --> 00:07:11,643
- I'd guess you're traveling to Standing Rock
- 74
- 00:07:11,723 --> 00:07:14,477
- to promote opposition
- to the Allotment Act treaty.
- 75
- 00:07:14,559 --> 00:07:17,899
- Sir, if I knew what the Allotment treaty was,
- 76
- 00:07:17,979 --> 00:07:20,944
- which I don't, I probably would oppose it.
- 77
- 00:07:21,024 --> 00:07:22,237
- You sure as hell couldn't paint it.
- 78
- 00:07:22,317 --> 00:07:23,613
- I met you two minutes ago,
- 79
- 00:07:23,693 --> 00:07:25,696
- and already you have accused me
- of being a spy and a liar.
- 80
- 00:07:25,779 --> 00:07:27,242
- I work for the War Department, darling.
- 81
- 00:07:27,322 --> 00:07:30,326
- I didn't mean to be presumptuous,
- but you do have that certain look.
- 82
- 00:07:32,243 --> 00:07:33,206
- What look is that?
- 83
- 00:07:33,286 --> 00:07:35,750
- The look of someone
- filled with good intentions.
- 84
- 00:07:35,830 --> 00:07:36,672
- Oh!
- 85
- 00:07:38,249 --> 00:07:39,296
- And that's bad?
- 86
- 00:07:39,376 --> 00:07:41,674
- West of Missouri, it can be lethal.
- 87
- 00:07:44,631 --> 00:07:46,634
- Would you mind if I gave you
- some practical advice?
- 88
- 00:07:46,716 --> 00:07:48,719
- I don't really care for practical advice
- 89
- 00:07:48,802 --> 00:07:50,640
- from someone who's such
- a poor judge of character.
- 90
- 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,222
- May I take your order, ma'am?
- 91
- 00:07:52,305 --> 00:07:54,477
- No, I'll eat in my compartment. Thank you.
- 92
- 00:07:54,557 --> 00:07:56,400
- - Yes, ma'am.
- - Ma'am.
- 93
- 00:08:27,424 --> 00:08:28,346
- Porter!
- 94
- 00:08:31,511 --> 00:08:33,683
- Hey, not her. I need you here.
- 95
- 00:08:33,763 --> 00:08:34,764
- Yes, sir.
- 96
- 00:08:36,725 --> 00:08:39,228
- - I'll give you a hand with that.
- - Oh! Thank you.
- 97
- 00:08:40,854 --> 00:08:42,197
- - Sounds good, Charlie.
- - Colonel.
- 98
- 00:08:44,983 --> 00:08:48,448
- This lady here, she came all the way
- from New York to paint Indians.
- 99
- 00:08:48,528 --> 00:08:49,825
- Is that a fact?
- 100
- 00:08:52,407 --> 00:08:54,330
- - Oh!
- - I hope they fuck you.
- 101
- 00:08:55,035 --> 00:08:57,538
- Cut the baby out,
- like they did the Robinson girls.
- 102
- 00:08:57,620 --> 00:08:59,497
- Indian-loving bitch.
- 103
- 00:08:59,998 --> 00:09:02,467
- I'm sorry, Colonel. My blood boils.
- 104
- 00:09:07,505 --> 00:09:10,099
- If you had any sense at all,
- you'd get back on that train,
- 105
- 00:09:10,925 --> 00:09:12,427
- return east with it today.
- 106
- 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:32,716
- Hello.
- 107
- 00:10:35,552 --> 00:10:37,520
- Do you know somewhere maybe I could...
- 108
- 00:10:39,639 --> 00:10:40,857
- hire a wagon?
- 109
- 00:11:24,851 --> 00:11:25,727
- Oh.
- 110
- 00:11:30,231 --> 00:11:32,279
- This is really very kind of you.
- 111
- 00:11:43,995 --> 00:11:47,460
- So, is the weather often this bad?
- 112
- 00:11:47,540 --> 00:11:49,167
- Or is this unusual?
- 113
- 00:11:55,006 --> 00:11:58,260
- Please be careful.
- There are bottles of turpentine in there.
- 114
- 00:12:00,303 --> 00:12:01,270
- Wait!
- 115
- 00:12:03,223 --> 00:12:04,224
- Slow down!
- 116
- 00:12:13,274 --> 00:12:15,902
- Good afternoon. Agent McLaughlin?
- 117
- 00:12:15,985 --> 00:12:19,576
- Colonel Groves. War Department.
- Special Envoy for General Crook.
- 118
- 00:12:19,656 --> 00:12:20,657
- Where's the rest of it?
- 119
- 00:12:21,908 --> 00:12:24,831
- Yeah, General Crook's ordered
- a 50 percent cut in rations
- 120
- 00:12:24,911 --> 00:12:27,625
- of flour, bacon and sugar
- 121
- 00:12:27,705 --> 00:12:29,378
- to take effect immediately.
- 122
- 00:12:32,168 --> 00:12:34,382
- When a new treaty needs to be ratified,
- 123
- 00:12:34,462 --> 00:12:38,387
- it's our experience that hunger
- concentrates the Indian mind.
- 124
- 00:12:41,886 --> 00:12:43,980
- This is my wife, Susan. Susan?
- 125
- 00:12:44,931 --> 00:12:46,979
- Do you find that hunger
- concentrates your mind?
- 126
- 00:12:59,570 --> 00:13:03,495
- We don't encourage the use
- of the old language on the reservation.
- 127
- 00:13:08,162 --> 00:13:09,414
- Thank you, dear.
- 128
- 00:13:15,795 --> 00:13:17,091
- Hot as hell out there.
- 129
- 00:13:17,171 --> 00:13:20,887
- You fucking idiots in Washington
- want to start another war?
- 130
- 00:13:20,967 --> 00:13:22,059
- No, sir.
- 131
- 00:13:26,889 --> 00:13:29,938
- Mr. McLaughlin, did you give permission
- to that crazy woman
- 132
- 00:13:30,018 --> 00:13:32,146
- to come onto the reservation?
- 133
- 00:13:36,024 --> 00:13:39,197
- Agent McLaughlin.
- It's a pleasure to meet you.
- 134
- 00:13:39,277 --> 00:13:43,032
- Sorry. I look a mess.
- It's kind of dusty out here.
- 135
- 00:13:43,114 --> 00:13:45,663
- Well, we're in the middle
- of a three-month drought.
- 136
- 00:13:46,242 --> 00:13:47,835
- Sorry if it inconvenienced you.
- 137
- 00:13:48,786 --> 00:13:50,250
- You got my letter?
- 138
- 00:13:50,330 --> 00:13:52,003
- Didn't wait for a reply?
- 139
- 00:13:53,082 --> 00:13:54,834
- Why would you refuse?
- 140
- 00:13:55,293 --> 00:13:57,840
- Mrs. Weldon, I order you to be on the train
- 141
- 00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,718
- when it returns east tomorrow morning.
- 142
- 00:14:00,340 --> 00:14:01,341
- You order me?
- 143
- 00:14:02,592 --> 00:14:04,055
- Find her a cabin for the night.
- 144
- 00:14:04,135 --> 00:14:05,637
- Escort her back to the train in the morning.
- 145
- 00:14:08,639 --> 00:14:10,141
- Can I help you with your luggage?
- 146
- 00:14:10,224 --> 00:14:11,521
- Her luggage was stolen.
- 147
- 00:14:11,601 --> 00:14:16,232
- Mrs. Weldon, I hope you made a sketch
- of the thief before he got away.
- 148
- 00:14:26,157 --> 00:14:27,500
- If I gave you money,
- 149
- 00:14:28,159 --> 00:14:30,082
- would you get word to Sitting Bull I'm here?
- 150
- 00:14:39,796 --> 00:14:43,471
- I'll be back tomorrow morning at dawn.
- You'll be here, right?
- 151
- 00:16:06,632 --> 00:16:08,134
- - Who is it?
- - It's me.
- 152
- 00:16:09,051 --> 00:16:11,349
- Go away. I'm writing to my congressman.
- 153
- 00:16:13,598 --> 00:16:15,191
- You really should lock this door.
- 154
- 00:16:17,226 --> 00:16:18,318
- Lot of thieves around.
- 155
- 00:16:21,022 --> 00:16:23,946
- I'll be upcountry in the morning,
- so I came to say goodbye.
- 156
- 00:16:26,194 --> 00:16:30,535
- Maybe arrange to meet for dinner,
- next time I'm in New York.
- 157
- 00:16:30,615 --> 00:16:32,583
- Why would I want to have dinner with you?
- 158
- 00:16:37,747 --> 00:16:39,750
- I don't know. We might get along.
- 159
- 00:16:40,708 --> 00:16:42,051
- I paint a little myself.
- 160
- 00:16:43,878 --> 00:16:45,050
- Landscapes.
- 161
- 00:16:46,214 --> 00:16:48,091
- You're an admirer of George Catlin.
- 162
- 00:16:51,010 --> 00:16:54,310
- - You know his work?
- - You bet.
- 163
- 00:16:56,891 --> 00:16:59,645
- I can't look at these
- the way most people do, though.
- 164
- 00:17:01,646 --> 00:17:02,989
- The scalp dance.
- 165
- 00:17:06,067 --> 00:17:09,992
- Saw my first scalp dance
- in the Black Hills back in '75.
- 166
- 00:17:12,782 --> 00:17:15,251
- But when I saw it,
- there were little blonde scalps.
- 167
- 00:17:17,286 --> 00:17:18,875
- The warriors had stumbled across
- 168
- 00:17:18,955 --> 00:17:21,754
- some Swedish immigrant children
- walking to school.
- 169
- 00:17:26,879 --> 00:17:29,849
- The little girls had blue ribbons
- tied up in their hair.
- 170
- 00:17:35,429 --> 00:17:37,181
- Mr. Groves, I've no doubt...
- 171
- 00:17:38,849 --> 00:17:40,772
- terrible things have happened here
- in the past.
- 172
- 00:17:42,311 --> 00:17:43,358
- The past?
- 173
- 00:17:47,692 --> 00:17:49,740
- You ever wish you were young again,
- Mrs. Weldon?
- 174
- 00:17:50,403 --> 00:17:52,531
- I mean really young. Eighteen.
- 175
- 00:17:52,613 --> 00:17:55,332
- No mistakes. Still strong, still free.
- 176
- 00:17:56,617 --> 00:17:58,789
- Well, on this reservation,
- there's a whole nation
- 177
- 00:17:58,869 --> 00:18:00,462
- wants to be young again.
- 178
- 00:18:01,122 --> 00:18:02,874
- But their youth isn't in the past.
- 179
- 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:08,255
- Their youth lives in a log cabin
- 20 miles west of here down a dirt road.
- 180
- 00:18:10,047 --> 00:18:11,674
- Their youth is called Sitting Bull.
- 181
- 00:18:24,228 --> 00:18:26,526
- This is my other reason for dropping by.
- 182
- 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:34,033
- - I'm afraid there's a little blood.
- - Blood?
- 183
- 00:18:34,113 --> 00:18:36,867
- That old Indian stole your trunk,
- drank the turpentine,
- 184
- 00:18:36,949 --> 00:18:38,667
- so when the police went to get your stuff,
- 185
- 00:18:39,744 --> 00:18:41,747
- he was drunk, pulled a gun, so they shot him.
- 186
- 00:18:44,624 --> 00:18:46,627
- Maybe you want to put that in your letter
- to your congressman.
- 187
- 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,394
- Mrs. Weldon! Time to go.
- 188
- 00:18:58,929 --> 00:19:00,021
- I'm not leaving.
- 189
- 00:19:07,980 --> 00:19:08,822
- Oh!
- 190
- 00:19:25,373 --> 00:19:27,712
- Did Sitting Bull even get the letter
- I sent him?
- 191
- 00:19:27,792 --> 00:19:29,635
- No. Agent burnt it.
- 192
- 00:19:30,795 --> 00:19:31,796
- He burnt it?
- 193
- 00:19:33,297 --> 00:19:36,016
- Well, naturally.
- He's God Almighty here, right?
- 194
- 00:19:36,592 --> 00:19:38,219
- I read it, though, before he burnt it.
- 195
- 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,222
- Is it true you've painted senators?
- 196
- 00:19:41,305 --> 00:19:45,026
- Before I married, I used to paint
- commissions for the Smithsonian.
- 197
- 00:19:45,768 --> 00:19:48,772
- I wanted Sitting Bull to know
- that I've painted important people before.
- 198
- 00:19:53,609 --> 00:19:55,612
- This isn't the way I came from the station.
- 199
- 00:19:58,406 --> 00:19:59,658
- Where are we?
- 200
- 00:20:01,909 --> 00:20:04,537
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- 201
- 00:20:21,178 --> 00:20:22,555
- He's in the fields, digging potatoes.
- 202
- 00:20:22,638 --> 00:20:25,483
- - Who is?
- - My uncle. Sitting Bull.
- 203
- 00:20:30,688 --> 00:20:31,689
- There he is.
- 204
- 00:20:44,285 --> 00:20:47,039
- My name's Catherine Weldon.
- I'm deeply honored to meet you.
- 205
- 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:13,607
- What happened?
- 206
- 00:21:15,316 --> 00:21:16,909
- Don't I get an explanation?
- 207
- 00:21:22,823 --> 00:21:25,042
- I had this stupid idea
- you might be able to help us.
- 208
- 00:21:26,118 --> 00:21:27,370
- Help with what?
- 209
- 00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:31,624
- I've got friends from Indian school,
- Kiowas, Comanches,
- 210
- 00:21:32,249 --> 00:21:34,798
- and last summer
- a new treaty took half their land.
- 211
- 00:21:35,753 --> 00:21:39,383
- And this winter it's our turn,
- but no one here gives a damn.
- 212
- 00:21:40,216 --> 00:21:42,264
- The young ones just get drunk,
- and the old ones,
- 213
- 00:21:42,718 --> 00:21:44,311
- they dance a ghost dance.
- 214
- 00:21:46,096 --> 00:21:49,395
- My uncle? He says his day is done.
- 215
- 00:21:49,475 --> 00:21:51,443
- He'd rather dig damn potatoes.
- 216
- 00:21:54,271 --> 00:21:55,818
- What good do you think I could do?
- 217
- 00:21:58,818 --> 00:22:00,661
- I thought you could get a message
- to your senators.
- 218
- 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,323
- Maybe they would listen
- if it came from Sitting Bull.
- 219
- 00:22:03,948 --> 00:22:04,790
- Let's go.
- 220
- 00:22:06,575 --> 00:22:07,997
- I want to speak to him.
- 221
- 00:22:11,413 --> 00:22:14,167
- So speak to him.
- He speaks English well enough.
- 222
- 00:22:14,250 --> 00:22:15,342
- When he wants to.
- 223
- 00:22:27,096 --> 00:22:27,972
- Excuse me.
- 224
- 00:22:31,433 --> 00:22:35,563
- I have traveled many miles from the east,
- 225
- 00:22:36,981 --> 00:22:39,484
- across many...
- 226
- 00:22:40,734 --> 00:22:42,737
- rivers and hills
- 227
- 00:22:43,821 --> 00:22:45,573
- for the honor of speaking with you.
- 228
- 00:22:47,366 --> 00:22:49,289
- You got a train from New York, right?
- 229
- 00:22:50,202 --> 00:22:51,374
- Did you get a Pullman?
- 230
- 00:22:53,038 --> 00:22:54,756
- - Yes.
- - Nice.
- 231
- 00:22:55,666 --> 00:22:57,509
- They gave me free cigars, too.
- 232
- 00:22:59,086 --> 00:23:01,050
- I have a proposition.
- 233
- 00:23:01,130 --> 00:23:02,677
- So, who have you painted before?
- 234
- 00:23:03,841 --> 00:23:06,764
- Oh, Congressman Tom Ochiltree from Texas
- 235
- 00:23:06,844 --> 00:23:09,063
- and Senator Eamonn Brooks from Idaho.
- 236
- 00:23:09,722 --> 00:23:12,937
- - So, how much?
- - How much for what?
- 237
- 00:23:13,017 --> 00:23:14,855
- For painting someone's picture.
- 238
- 00:23:14,935 --> 00:23:17,563
- Oh, I usually charge $40, but in this case...
- 239
- 00:23:17,646 --> 00:23:19,114
- I mean how much would you pay me?
- 240
- 00:23:21,650 --> 00:23:23,948
- I'd be happy to pay you $50.
- 241
- 00:23:29,325 --> 00:23:31,202
- One hundred dollars.
- 242
- 00:23:36,999 --> 00:23:38,251
- Five hundred dollars.
- 243
- 00:23:38,334 --> 00:23:40,052
- One thousand dollars.
- 244
- 00:23:43,422 --> 00:23:44,890
- That's a lot of money. I...
- 245
- 00:23:47,968 --> 00:23:49,845
- I don't have that kind of cash with me.
- 246
- 00:23:53,891 --> 00:23:55,689
- There's a First National Bank in town.
- 247
- 00:24:01,607 --> 00:24:03,234
- One thousand dollars it is.
- 248
- 00:24:05,444 --> 00:24:06,571
- Do we have a deal?
- 249
- 00:24:18,499 --> 00:24:19,421
- What?
- 250
- 00:24:21,543 --> 00:24:23,090
- It's raining.
- 251
- 00:24:25,297 --> 00:24:27,220
- How long has it been since it rained?
- 252
- 00:24:31,595 --> 00:24:33,642
- When Lakota first meet,
- we don't speak for a while.
- 253
- 00:24:33,722 --> 00:24:34,560
- Oh.
- 254
- 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,768
- Words get in the way
- of getting to know each other.
- 255
- 00:24:38,352 --> 00:24:39,774
- Sorry.
- 256
- 00:24:41,563 --> 00:24:43,527
- You could throw some wood
- on the fire, though.
- 257
- 00:24:43,607 --> 00:24:46,156
- Lakota like a woman who works hard.
- 258
- 00:24:54,243 --> 00:24:56,245
- That's not firewood. That's furniture.
- 259
- 00:25:05,045 --> 00:25:06,467
- Maybe I could make some coffee?
- 260
- 00:25:06,547 --> 00:25:08,766
- Well, to make coffee, you'd need coffee.
- 261
- 00:25:21,437 --> 00:25:23,440
- The children want to see the woman
- who brought the rain.
- 262
- 00:25:38,871 --> 00:25:40,544
- - I've cleared this cabin for you.
- - Oh!
- 263
- 00:25:41,957 --> 00:25:43,754
- What will you tell McLaughlin?
- 264
- 00:25:43,834 --> 00:25:46,758
- That I put you on the train.
- You climbed off again.
- 265
- 00:25:47,588 --> 00:25:48,680
- He trusts you?
- 266
- 00:25:49,339 --> 00:25:52,054
- He thinks I spy on my uncle for the Agency.
- 267
- 00:25:52,134 --> 00:25:53,556
- But it's the other way around.
- 268
- 00:26:31,048 --> 00:26:32,266
- What do you want?
- 269
- 00:26:47,648 --> 00:26:51,403
- You are dancing with the ghosts now?
- 270
- 00:26:51,485 --> 00:26:52,906
- I spoke to the spirit of your father,
- 271
- 00:26:52,986 --> 00:26:58,618
- and your mother, and your brothers,
- 272
- 00:26:59,409 --> 00:27:04,711
- and your son, and Crazy Horse.
- 273
- 00:27:07,751 --> 00:27:11,255
- They said the Bull must choose...
- 274
- 00:27:11,338 --> 00:27:13,932
- between being a warrior or a farmer.
- 275
- 00:27:41,827 --> 00:27:43,079
- Who was that?
- 276
- 00:27:46,790 --> 00:27:48,042
- Shell King.
- 277
- 00:27:52,337 --> 00:27:56,342
- This used to be his cabin,
- until I told him to leave.
- 278
- 00:27:57,968 --> 00:27:59,265
- He looked so...
- 279
- 00:28:03,765 --> 00:28:05,017
- magnificent.
- 280
- 00:28:51,813 --> 00:28:53,235
- Do you always walk this fast?
- 281
- 00:28:54,650 --> 00:28:55,863
- Why?
- 282
- 00:28:55,943 --> 00:28:58,071
- I'm trying to get ahead of you
- before someone sees us.
- 283
- 00:28:58,946 --> 00:29:00,949
- You don't walk ahead of a chief.
- 284
- 00:29:01,615 --> 00:29:02,787
- Should I walk behind?
- 285
- 00:29:04,076 --> 00:29:05,578
- Side by side is fine.
- 286
- 00:29:08,622 --> 00:29:09,874
- Are you all right?
- 287
- 00:29:11,667 --> 00:29:14,091
- Walking so fast has loosened my bullets.
- 288
- 00:29:15,420 --> 00:29:16,547
- What bullets?
- 289
- 00:29:17,506 --> 00:29:19,759
- I have four bullets still in my body.
- 290
- 00:29:20,926 --> 00:29:22,098
- They move around.
- 291
- 00:29:26,974 --> 00:29:29,352
- What does your husband think
- about you coming here?
- 292
- 00:29:29,434 --> 00:29:30,526
- I'm a widow.
- 293
- 00:29:32,479 --> 00:29:34,402
- - I'm sorry.
- - I'm not.
- 294
- 00:29:47,869 --> 00:29:50,998
- Mrs. Weldon. May I speak with you in private?
- 295
- 00:30:00,424 --> 00:30:02,472
- - What do you want?
- - I'm here to rescue you.
- 296
- 00:30:03,218 --> 00:30:05,432
- - Rescue me?
- - Hear you got yourself kidnapped.
- 297
- 00:30:05,512 --> 00:30:07,351
- These gentlemen are gonna
- escort you to Cannon Ball,
- 298
- 00:30:07,431 --> 00:30:09,183
- catch the next train heading east.
- 299
- 00:30:09,266 --> 00:30:12,270
- That's very kind of you, Mr. Groves.
- Go to hell.
- 300
- 00:30:12,352 --> 00:30:14,566
- Mrs. Weldon, Dakota territory is hell.
- 301
- 00:30:14,646 --> 00:30:16,985
- Since I've been here,
- I've seen deplorable conditions,
- 302
- 00:30:17,065 --> 00:30:20,739
- and I hear the treaty you're here to serve
- will only make things worse.
- 303
- 00:30:20,819 --> 00:30:23,447
- Look here, it's time you get on that train
- 304
- 00:30:23,530 --> 00:30:25,994
- and report back to your seditionist friends
- 305
- 00:30:26,074 --> 00:30:27,542
- in Greenwich Village.
- 306
- 00:30:28,452 --> 00:30:31,080
- Well, If I take the train, I can be
- in Washington DC by Thursday.
- 307
- 00:30:31,913 --> 00:30:35,417
- The editor of The Post is an investor
- in my father's shipping business.
- 308
- 00:30:35,500 --> 00:30:37,839
- From his office,
- I will go direct to the Senate,
- 309
- 00:30:37,919 --> 00:30:39,841
- then to the Bureau of Indian Affairs,
- 310
- 00:30:39,921 --> 00:30:42,719
- and finally accept
- a long-standing dinner invitation
- 311
- 00:30:42,799 --> 00:30:45,176
- with former Vice President Buckley.
- 312
- 00:30:45,185 --> 00:30:49,017
- It'd be kind of unfortunate to meet all
- those important people without all the facts.
- 313
- 00:30:49,097 --> 00:30:52,567
- So, the truth is important
- to both of us. Good.
- 314
- 00:30:53,185 --> 00:30:55,607
- Maybe you should stick around
- till General Crook gets here
- 315
- 00:30:55,687 --> 00:30:57,655
- and I have the final draft of the treaty.
- 316
- 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:04,280
- Mrs. Weldon, do not give him reason to hope.
- 317
- 00:31:04,738 --> 00:31:06,240
- No one here's forgotten or forgiven,
- 318
- 00:31:06,323 --> 00:31:08,576
- least of all General Crook
- and the 7th Cavalry.
- 319
- 00:31:09,826 --> 00:31:12,541
- Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse
- massacred the 7th at Little Bighorn.
- 320
- 00:31:12,621 --> 00:31:15,625
- - I don't need a history lesson.
- - It's not history till it's over.
- 321
- 00:31:18,418 --> 00:31:21,672
- And for the 7th, this isn't over
- until Sitting Bull's dead.
- 322
- 00:31:22,422 --> 00:31:24,136
- And if they kill him, half the Sioux Nation
- 323
- 00:31:24,216 --> 00:31:26,093
- will throw themselves
- against the American Army,
- 324
- 00:31:26,927 --> 00:31:29,681
- and Little Bighorn will be avenged.
- You follow?
- 325
- 00:31:31,014 --> 00:31:32,891
- I'm just here to paint a painting.
- 326
- 00:31:45,529 --> 00:31:46,621
- Whoa!
- 327
- 00:31:53,954 --> 00:31:56,298
- Welcome to Fort Yates, General Crook.
- 328
- 00:31:56,790 --> 00:31:58,133
- Mr. McLaughlin.
- 329
- 00:32:00,419 --> 00:32:03,173
- - Where's the Bull?
- - A painter came from New York.
- 330
- 00:32:04,005 --> 00:32:06,678
- Seems to appeal to Sitting Bull's vanity.
- 331
- 00:32:06,758 --> 00:32:10,349
- He's having his portrait painted
- while his people dance with ghosts.
- 332
- 00:32:10,429 --> 00:32:12,056
- He's not gonna be a problem, sir.
- 333
- 00:32:12,139 --> 00:32:14,267
- He's shown no interest
- in opposing the commission.
- 334
- 00:32:15,308 --> 00:32:16,730
- Get a message to this painter
- 335
- 00:32:16,810 --> 00:32:18,687
- and tell him I'd like him
- to join me for dinner.
- 336
- 00:32:19,479 --> 00:32:20,651
- It's a woman, actually.
- 337
- 00:32:21,940 --> 00:32:24,944
- Man, those New York ladies
- love a bad man, don't they?
- 338
- 00:32:26,319 --> 00:32:27,946
- Invite her to dinner anyway.
- 339
- 00:32:52,095 --> 00:32:53,392
- This is the suit I wore
- 340
- 00:32:53,472 --> 00:32:55,600
- to meet the President of the United States.
- 341
- 00:32:56,433 --> 00:32:57,480
- It's beautiful.
- 342
- 00:32:58,852 --> 00:33:02,231
- But I was hoping for something
- a little more traditional.
- 343
- 00:33:09,154 --> 00:33:10,997
- The Agent doesn't like us to wear buckskins.
- 344
- 00:33:12,199 --> 00:33:14,913
- If the white farmers around here
- see an Indian in skins,
- 345
- 00:33:14,993 --> 00:33:16,085
- they get scared.
- 346
- 00:33:16,995 --> 00:33:19,709
- Well, okay, then. The suit's fine.
- 347
- 00:33:19,789 --> 00:33:22,543
- The Agent said we should burn
- all the old stuff.
- 348
- 00:33:33,011 --> 00:33:34,138
- Some we burnt.
- 349
- 00:33:37,098 --> 00:33:38,145
- Some we hid.
- 350
- 00:33:42,938 --> 00:33:45,783
- For $1,000, you should get what you want.
- 351
- 00:33:49,069 --> 00:33:50,446
- You're gonna need a horse.
- 352
- 00:33:51,571 --> 00:33:52,413
- No.
- 353
- 00:33:53,406 --> 00:33:56,329
- - I don't ride.
- - What?
- 354
- 00:33:56,409 --> 00:33:58,332
- In New York City,
- we don't need to ride horses.
- 355
- 00:34:15,804 --> 00:34:19,229
- This is Rico. Buffalo Bill gave him to me.
- 356
- 00:34:20,058 --> 00:34:21,685
- He's a circus horse.
- 357
- 00:34:24,187 --> 00:34:26,200
- It'd be just like sitting on a chair.
- 358
- 00:34:27,524 --> 00:34:28,901
- When you click your tongue...
- 359
- 00:34:32,529 --> 00:34:34,117
- he paws the ground.
- 360
- 00:34:34,197 --> 00:34:36,416
- When he hears a gunshot...
- 361
- 00:34:37,409 --> 00:34:38,501
- he dances.
- 362
- 00:34:39,286 --> 00:34:41,208
- Come on, stroke him.
- 363
- 00:34:41,288 --> 00:34:42,915
- No, I don't want to stroke him.
- 364
- 00:34:43,832 --> 00:34:45,505
- Wherever it is we're going, I'll walk.
- 365
- 00:34:48,044 --> 00:34:50,513
- - Your shoes.
- - My shoes are walking shoes.
- 366
- 00:34:51,965 --> 00:34:55,469
- I paid $1,000.
- If I want to walk, I will damn well walk.
- 367
- 00:35:05,061 --> 00:35:07,655
- Does the snow stay
- on the mountains all year round?
- 368
- 00:35:08,648 --> 00:35:11,322
- It's not snow. It's bones.
- 369
- 00:35:12,193 --> 00:35:13,536
- Buffalo bones.
- 370
- 00:35:14,154 --> 00:35:17,283
- When the buffalo hear a gunshot,
- they don't run. They stand.
- 371
- 00:35:18,533 --> 00:35:21,206
- So the white hunters
- could just shoot and shoot
- 372
- 00:35:21,286 --> 00:35:22,538
- until they were all dead.
- 373
- 00:35:24,247 --> 00:35:27,126
- We used to spend our lives
- following the buffalo herds.
- 374
- 00:35:27,917 --> 00:35:31,592
- Now they've all gone,
- and we have to live in one place
- 375
- 00:35:32,213 --> 00:35:34,386
- and ask the earth to grow potatoes.
- 376
- 00:35:40,472 --> 00:35:44,477
- You'll never be free on the prairie
- if you don't ride.
- 377
- 00:35:45,393 --> 00:35:46,690
- Freedom's in the head.
- 378
- 00:35:47,979 --> 00:35:50,043
- And in the feet.
- 379
- 00:35:50,523 --> 00:35:52,696
- My feet are just fine.
- 380
- 00:35:57,072 --> 00:35:58,073
- Try these.
- 381
- 00:36:00,909 --> 00:36:03,537
- My old ones, soft buckskin.
- 382
- 00:36:12,420 --> 00:36:14,172
- You got big feet for a woman.
- 383
- 00:36:15,548 --> 00:36:17,425
- You got small feet for a man.
- 384
- 00:36:22,305 --> 00:36:26,151
- It means "big feet."
- Maybe that could be your Indian name.
- 385
- 00:36:27,519 --> 00:36:31,365
- They called George Catlin
- "Mystery Spirit Painter."
- 386
- 00:36:32,774 --> 00:36:33,992
- Think of something like that.
- 387
- 00:36:43,618 --> 00:36:44,460
- Whoa.
- 388
- 00:36:56,881 --> 00:36:58,428
- She getting on that damn horse yet?
- 389
- 00:37:04,973 --> 00:37:08,193
- You walk behind me,
- looks like I've taken you prisoner.
- 390
- 00:37:09,060 --> 00:37:12,359
- Behind. In front.
- So many rules about walking.
- 391
- 00:37:12,439 --> 00:37:13,566
- Can't I just walk?
- 392
- 00:37:33,251 --> 00:37:35,675
- Rico's taking it pretty badly
- you don't like him.
- 393
- 00:37:37,589 --> 00:37:41,513
- It's okay, Rico. She's from New York.
- 394
- 00:37:41,593 --> 00:37:43,186
- I thought you liked New York.
- 395
- 00:37:43,762 --> 00:37:45,558
- Too many people with too much.
- 396
- 00:37:45,638 --> 00:37:47,515
- Too many people with nothing at all.
- 397
- 00:37:49,100 --> 00:37:52,354
- Your society values people
- by how much you have,
- 398
- 00:37:54,814 --> 00:37:56,657
- ours by how much we give away.
- 399
- 00:38:58,753 --> 00:39:00,926
- Soft. Feel.
- 400
- 00:39:05,593 --> 00:39:08,267
- We used to use the buffalo's brains
- to soften the hide.
- 401
- 00:39:09,264 --> 00:39:13,645
- Every animal has exactly enough brains
- to tan its own hide.
- 402
- 00:39:14,686 --> 00:39:15,653
- Never too much.
- 403
- 00:39:17,272 --> 00:39:18,194
- Never too little.
- 404
- 00:39:50,263 --> 00:39:51,355
- You can look now.
- 405
- 00:40:15,121 --> 00:40:16,543
- You think you could wear your feathers?
- 406
- 00:40:21,377 --> 00:40:22,219
- Why not?
- 407
- 00:40:23,713 --> 00:40:25,590
- Same reason you don't wear
- your wedding dress.
- 408
- 00:40:31,471 --> 00:40:32,893
- I need you to come outside, though.
- 409
- 00:40:33,556 --> 00:40:34,978
- You can paint me in here.
- 410
- 00:40:36,059 --> 00:40:37,356
- There's no light in here.
- 411
- 00:40:39,395 --> 00:40:40,817
- You can't see my face?
- 412
- 00:40:44,275 --> 00:40:48,530
- When you've smoked, you'll come outside, yes?
- 413
- 00:40:50,281 --> 00:40:54,002
- Mrs. Weldon, don't talk to me
- like you don't know who I am.
- 414
- 00:40:54,661 --> 00:40:55,583
- I'll be outside.
- 415
- 00:41:24,190 --> 00:41:26,989
- So, Mrs. Weldon,
- 416
- 00:41:30,488 --> 00:41:32,240
- how come you're scared of horses?
- 417
- 00:41:40,915 --> 00:41:42,588
- I got locked in a stable.
- 418
- 00:41:43,793 --> 00:41:47,717
- My dad's best saddle horse, called Sultan.
- 419
- 00:41:47,797 --> 00:41:49,299
- I was eight years old.
- 420
- 00:41:51,300 --> 00:41:52,472
- My father...
- 421
- 00:41:54,012 --> 00:41:55,639
- locked me in there on purpose.
- 422
- 00:41:59,225 --> 00:42:00,977
- Since then, I haven't ridden horses.
- 423
- 00:42:03,855 --> 00:42:05,198
- Why would he do that?
- 424
- 00:42:08,568 --> 00:42:11,037
- Decided I needed to be taught to obey,
- 425
- 00:42:14,323 --> 00:42:15,620
- broken like a horse,
- 426
- 00:42:20,496 --> 00:42:24,296
- because I wasn't... behaving like a lady.
- 427
- 00:42:31,257 --> 00:42:33,351
- It was the way I wiped my mouth...
- 428
- 00:42:39,432 --> 00:42:41,856
- at the dinner table,
- our country place, and some...
- 429
- 00:42:43,102 --> 00:42:45,321
- some grand people came to dinner.
- 430
- 00:42:50,026 --> 00:42:51,323
- I was eight years old, and...
- 431
- 00:42:55,490 --> 00:42:57,413
- I wiped my mouth with my sleeve.
- 432
- 00:43:03,164 --> 00:43:05,838
- I was traded from father to husband.
- 433
- 00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:10,513
- I've decided to change.
- 434
- 00:43:11,422 --> 00:43:16,519
- I'm trying... not to care
- what people think of me.
- 435
- 00:43:21,224 --> 00:43:24,774
- That's why I'm out here on my own in the...
- 436
- 00:43:27,855 --> 00:43:29,107
- middle of nowhere.
- 437
- 00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:37,748
- At my age, it's kind of stupid.
- 438
- 00:43:43,287 --> 00:43:45,290
- It's damned hard being brave.
- 439
- 00:44:17,405 --> 00:44:18,327
- So, anyway,
- 440
- 00:44:20,491 --> 00:44:24,667
- I'd really prefer to work outside,
- if that's okay with you.
- 441
- 00:44:35,173 --> 00:44:37,050
- You're not good at keeping still, are you?
- 442
- 00:44:37,133 --> 00:44:39,636
- Shoot me, then I will be still.
- 443
- 00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:41,562
- What would be the point of shooting you?
- 444
- 00:44:42,388 --> 00:44:44,231
- Bullets don't seem to have any effect.
- 445
- 00:44:51,597 --> 00:44:53,400
- Goddamn. She really is a painter.
- 446
- 00:45:01,407 --> 00:45:04,911
- The eagle is telling Sitting Bull we're here.
- 447
- 00:45:13,711 --> 00:45:14,963
- What?
- 448
- 00:45:26,432 --> 00:45:28,105
- You're gonna paint me now?
- 449
- 00:45:29,477 --> 00:45:32,276
- In New York,
- I draw naked people all the time.
- 450
- 00:45:33,147 --> 00:45:34,945
- I can see without looking.
- 451
- 00:45:36,275 --> 00:45:38,614
- So, would you take your clothes off
- in front of me?
- 452
- 00:45:38,694 --> 00:45:41,618
- - You're not a painter.
- - No?
- 453
- 00:45:47,703 --> 00:45:51,048
- I've painted a painting
- for every year of my life.
- 454
- 00:45:56,837 --> 00:45:59,177
- This was the first man
- I ever killed in battle,
- 455
- 00:45:59,257 --> 00:46:01,430
- a Crow on the Powder River.
- 456
- 00:46:03,010 --> 00:46:05,933
- My name then was Hunkesni. It means "slow".
- 457
- 00:46:06,013 --> 00:46:07,014
- Slow?
- 458
- 00:46:07,098 --> 00:46:09,066
- I thought before I spoke.
- 459
- 00:46:10,893 --> 00:46:13,396
- And on this day I became a man.
- 460
- 00:46:13,479 --> 00:46:15,401
- You became a man by killing someone?
- 461
- 00:46:15,481 --> 00:46:17,950
- Someone who would have killed
- my mother and sister.
- 462
- 00:46:19,443 --> 00:46:21,787
- - How old were you?
- - Thirteen.
- 463
- 00:46:24,490 --> 00:46:26,288
- This is the death of my father.
- 464
- 00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,288
- And this is how I killed the man
- who killed him.
- 465
- 00:46:33,165 --> 00:46:35,634
- This is the year when the measles first came.
- 466
- 00:46:36,836 --> 00:46:38,338
- Half our village died.
- 467
- 00:46:41,549 --> 00:46:43,222
- Is that General Custer?
- 468
- 00:46:49,890 --> 00:46:53,144
- I met with Tashunka Witko, Crazy Horse.
- 469
- 00:46:55,271 --> 00:46:58,650
- We decided we needed to all be together
- if we were to survive.
- 470
- 00:46:58,733 --> 00:47:01,155
- The Hunkpapa, Oglala, Blackfeet,
- 471
- 00:47:01,235 --> 00:47:03,863
- Minneconjou, Cheyenne, Arapaho.
- 472
- 00:47:06,657 --> 00:47:08,660
- Crazy Horse was a religious man.
- 473
- 00:47:09,410 --> 00:47:13,882
- He said the people needed a sign
- for them to believe in their own strength.
- 474
- 00:47:16,959 --> 00:47:18,552
- I went to seek a vision that year.
- 475
- 00:47:20,963 --> 00:47:22,181
- This was my vision:
- 476
- 00:47:23,382 --> 00:47:27,103
- White soldiers falling from the sky.
- 477
- 00:47:30,348 --> 00:47:35,195
- Two days later, Long Hair, Custer,
- came with his army.
- 478
- 00:47:37,646 --> 00:47:39,819
- We didn't leave a single one of them alive.
- 479
- 00:47:43,361 --> 00:47:44,488
- After that year,
- 480
- 00:47:46,864 --> 00:47:49,492
- they tracked down every chief
- who fought in that battle,
- 481
- 00:47:50,326 --> 00:47:51,498
- killed them all.
- 482
- 00:47:53,245 --> 00:47:54,246
- Except for you.
- 483
- 00:47:57,708 --> 00:47:58,926
- So, you see?
- 484
- 00:48:00,461 --> 00:48:01,929
- I am a painter, too.
- 485
- 00:48:04,256 --> 00:48:07,851
- This is one of the most exquisite
- pieces of work I've ever seen.
- 486
- 00:48:10,054 --> 00:48:11,681
- Then why does it make you sad?
- 487
- 00:48:13,307 --> 00:48:14,980
- Because you've lived all this
- 488
- 00:48:15,768 --> 00:48:17,691
- and turned it into something beautiful.
- 489
- 00:48:21,065 --> 00:48:24,285
- The only battle I ever fought against
- is insignificance.
- 490
- 00:48:25,778 --> 00:48:26,996
- So live more.
- 491
- 00:48:29,698 --> 00:48:31,075
- Live more. Yes.
- 492
- 00:48:34,036 --> 00:48:35,413
- That's what I want to do.
- 493
- 00:48:43,379 --> 00:48:46,349
- Must have been hell to be in jail
- after living like this.
- 494
- 00:48:47,550 --> 00:48:48,677
- I was never in jail.
- 495
- 00:48:49,677 --> 00:48:51,520
- This body full of bullets was in jail.
- 496
- 00:48:52,638 --> 00:48:53,730
- But I was out there.
- 497
- 00:48:55,182 --> 00:48:56,729
- The guards thought I was sleeping.
- 498
- 00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:59,813
- But I'd made myself into an eagle.
- 499
- 00:49:21,250 --> 00:49:22,468
- Is there something wrong?
- 500
- 00:49:26,088 --> 00:49:28,466
- It's cold. Why are there no fires?
- 501
- 00:49:43,022 --> 00:49:44,945
- Where is everyone?
- 502
- 00:49:45,983 --> 00:49:48,657
- This morning at Fort Yates,
- they issued copies of the new treaty.
- 503
- 00:49:50,154 --> 00:49:51,781
- Then they announced the new winter rations.
- 504
- 00:49:53,324 --> 00:49:56,294
- Everything's cut in half: beef, flour, sugar.
- 505
- 00:49:57,620 --> 00:49:58,917
- They're gonna starve us into signing.
- 506
- 00:50:00,539 --> 00:50:02,837
- When people heard the news,
- they came running here asking for you,
- 507
- 00:50:04,460 --> 00:50:05,803
- even Arapahoes and Cheyennes.
- 508
- 00:50:08,547 --> 00:50:09,548
- The Shell King came.
- 509
- 00:50:11,217 --> 00:50:13,436
- He asked where was Sitting Bull
- when his people needed him.
- 510
- 00:50:14,386 --> 00:50:17,351
- He said you were off with the white woman,
- a government spy,
- 511
- 00:50:17,431 --> 00:50:20,059
- who arrived on the same train
- as the man who cut the rations.
- 512
- 00:50:22,686 --> 00:50:23,904
- He said you abandoned them.
- 513
- 00:50:27,441 --> 00:50:29,944
- When Shell King left,
- most of the villagers left with him.
- 514
- 00:50:30,444 --> 00:50:32,037
- They went off to join the ghost dance.
- 515
- 00:50:32,821 --> 00:50:35,449
- What's... What's the ghost dance?
- 516
- 00:50:41,038 --> 00:50:42,751
- An Indian from the south had a vision.
- 517
- 00:50:42,831 --> 00:50:46,505
- He said if the Lakota wear certain clothes
- and dance a certain dance,
- 518
- 00:50:46,585 --> 00:50:48,087
- then the old ways would return.
- 519
- 00:50:50,756 --> 00:50:51,883
- The buffalo will come running,
- 520
- 00:50:51,966 --> 00:50:54,138
- scattered across the prairie,
- like they used to.
- 521
- 00:50:54,218 --> 00:50:57,643
- The Indians who died of hunger
- and measles, they will return,
- 522
- 00:50:59,390 --> 00:51:00,937
- and the white man will leave us alone.
- 523
- 00:51:02,977 --> 00:51:04,729
- They dance until they fall.
- 524
- 00:51:06,021 --> 00:51:07,735
- There's nothing left for them but to dance.
- 525
- 00:51:10,401 --> 00:51:13,075
- Uncle, while you have been digging potatoes,
- 526
- 00:51:14,113 --> 00:51:17,288
- the people have split into 100 factions.
- 527
- 00:51:19,827 --> 00:51:20,874
- Enough.
- 528
- 00:51:22,955 --> 00:51:24,958
- Uncle, we need you to be our leader again.
- 529
- 00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:43,077
- Grandfather.
- 530
- 00:52:46,246 --> 00:52:49,625
- How should we behave?
- 531
- 00:53:30,249 --> 00:53:33,422
- Mrs. Weldon,
- last night I asked the spirits for help.
- 532
- 00:53:33,502 --> 00:53:34,754
- What did they say?
- 533
- 00:53:36,088 --> 00:53:40,434
- They told me it was time for you
- to go into town, do some shopping.
- 534
- 00:53:42,803 --> 00:53:44,892
- People get scared when Indians dance.
- 535
- 00:53:44,972 --> 00:53:46,815
- Dancing was scalps and war.
- 536
- 00:53:47,599 --> 00:53:49,772
- They see dancing, they want soldiers.
- 537
- 00:53:51,353 --> 00:53:53,697
- By the way, General Crook and McLaughlin
- are having a dinner.
- 538
- 00:53:54,940 --> 00:53:57,068
- They told me to tell you
- you're invited to the party.
- 539
- 00:54:01,071 --> 00:54:04,995
- I can only give you 32 sacks
- of white flour, ma'am. That's it.
- 540
- 00:54:05,075 --> 00:54:06,747
- The rest is earmarked for the Army.
- 541
- 00:54:06,827 --> 00:54:09,500
- Very well, then. Thirty-two will have to do.
- 542
- 00:54:09,580 --> 00:54:13,754
- And beans, I've only got black beans
- in that quantity.
- 543
- 00:54:13,834 --> 00:54:18,135
- Black beans is fine.
- One hundred large sacks, please.
- 544
- 00:54:18,964 --> 00:54:20,557
- And 50 barrels of molasses.
- 545
- 00:54:28,390 --> 00:54:29,312
- All set.
- 546
- 00:54:31,477 --> 00:54:33,195
- All right, keep 'em coming.
- 547
- 00:54:42,070 --> 00:54:43,409
- Whoa, whoa.
- 548
- 00:54:43,489 --> 00:54:46,083
- And this is all for
- the Sioux police barracks?
- 549
- 00:54:47,201 --> 00:54:49,454
- So, how come the white woman's paying cash?
- 550
- 00:54:52,956 --> 00:54:54,378
- No English. Hup.
- 551
- 00:55:21,902 --> 00:55:22,949
- Catherine Weldon.
- 552
- 00:55:49,596 --> 00:55:52,566
- There you go, whore.
- Now you're red, just like him.
- 553
- 00:56:22,796 --> 00:56:24,890
- You'd better go. They're looking for rope.
- 554
- 00:57:15,223 --> 00:57:19,604
- We give thanks to you for the food.
- 555
- 00:57:22,147 --> 00:57:24,775
- Woman Walks Ahead.
- 556
- 00:57:36,036 --> 00:57:39,334
- - Right, we all ready?
- - Yeah.
- 557
- 00:57:39,414 --> 00:57:40,336
- Good morning.
- 558
- 00:57:42,626 --> 00:57:44,915
- Yeah, we'll see. Right.
- 559
- 00:57:50,842 --> 00:57:52,339
- Number 21, please.
- 560
- 00:57:58,475 --> 00:58:01,148
- Yeah, wait, she does understand
- 561
- 00:58:01,228 --> 00:58:04,357
- that her beef and flour rations
- have been cut in half, doesn't she?
- 562
- 00:58:15,283 --> 00:58:16,205
- What did she say?
- 563
- 00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:19,413
- She said she already has enough flour.
- 564
- 00:58:22,082 --> 00:58:23,528
- From where?
- 565
- 00:58:27,713 --> 00:58:30,967
- She said from the Great Spirit.
- 566
- 00:58:44,855 --> 00:58:45,902
- General Crook.
- 567
- 00:58:47,899 --> 00:58:51,073
- We have a problem at Standing Rock.
- 568
- 00:58:51,153 --> 00:58:53,116
- Mrs. Weldon is buying food for the Indians,
- 569
- 00:58:53,196 --> 00:58:56,450
- thereby... thereby undermining
- the ration system.
- 570
- 00:58:59,911 --> 00:59:02,960
- I recommend we arrest her,
- keep her locked up until after the vote.
- 571
- 00:59:05,917 --> 00:59:08,340
- Thought you said I didn't need
- to worry about Sitting Bull.
- 572
- 00:59:08,420 --> 00:59:09,841
- I was wrong. She's agitating him.
- 573
- 00:59:09,921 --> 00:59:11,510
- She has him wearing buckskins and feathers.
- 574
- 00:59:11,590 --> 00:59:14,184
- You can't arrest someone
- for spending their own money.
- 575
- 00:59:16,011 --> 00:59:18,935
- Sir, with all due respect, our job here
- 576
- 00:59:19,681 --> 00:59:21,979
- is to deliver a ratification
- of the Allotment Act.
- 577
- 00:59:23,518 --> 00:59:25,691
- I bet my old friend Sitting Bull
- feels about potatoes
- 578
- 00:59:25,771 --> 00:59:27,609
- the way I feel about you, Mr. Groves.
- 579
- 00:59:27,689 --> 00:59:30,112
- She's agitating the Bull, sir.
- She's agitating him to act.
- 580
- 00:59:30,192 --> 00:59:32,536
- No, she's a painter painting what she sees.
- 581
- 00:59:33,278 --> 00:59:35,451
- When she sees the Bull, she sees a warrior.
- 582
- 00:59:36,364 --> 00:59:40,080
- I, too, am a warrior.
- Our destinies appear to be entwined.
- 583
- 00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:42,332
- Sir, I fear that for some
- among your regiment,
- 584
- 00:59:42,412 --> 00:59:44,540
- this return to Dakota is about revenge.
- 585
- 00:59:44,623 --> 00:59:46,671
- Vengeance is for the Lord to take.
- 586
- 00:59:48,543 --> 00:59:52,673
- But maybe our good Lord sent us Mrs. Weldon.
- 587
- 00:59:52,756 --> 00:59:53,632
- Sir...
- 588
- 00:59:53,715 --> 00:59:55,934
- Permission to issue
- an arrest warrant is denied.
- 589
- 01:00:07,562 --> 01:00:09,314
- Do you remember who did this?
- 590
- 01:00:10,190 --> 01:00:11,317
- The whole town.
- 591
- 01:00:25,288 --> 01:00:26,961
- I guess I really made them mad, huh?
- 592
- 01:00:32,546 --> 01:00:34,333
- The local paper...
- 593
- 01:00:35,590 --> 01:00:37,558
- seems to have gotten the idea that...
- 594
- 01:00:39,427 --> 01:00:42,476
- you and me are somehow
- romantically connected.
- 595
- 01:00:45,934 --> 01:00:47,026
- Some joke, huh?
- 596
- 01:00:53,024 --> 01:00:54,401
- They also think that...
- 597
- 01:00:57,112 --> 01:00:59,831
- you and me are planning
- some kind of uprising.
- 598
- 01:01:03,535 --> 01:01:04,457
- Imagine.
- 599
- 01:01:06,288 --> 01:01:08,916
- A painter of a certain age
- and an old potato farmer.
- 600
- 01:01:18,258 --> 01:01:23,060
- Once, I would have taken 100 warriors
- and finished that whole town.
- 601
- 01:01:23,847 --> 01:01:27,772
- But I've learned to swallow it,
- like swallowing rocks.
- 602
- 01:01:33,899 --> 01:01:37,779
- If we fight, they'll massacre us all.
- 603
- 01:01:38,653 --> 01:01:40,405
- We can fight it in an election.
- 604
- 01:01:41,990 --> 01:01:45,711
- They have to put the treaty to a vote.
- There won't be any need for violence.
- 605
- 01:01:54,044 --> 01:01:55,171
- Where are you going?
- 606
- 01:01:57,505 --> 01:01:59,257
- To get someone to saddle Rico.
- 607
- 01:02:51,017 --> 01:02:53,190
- Take care of her.
- 608
- 01:03:37,439 --> 01:03:41,655
- Sometimes, the sadness I feel
- for the passing of the old days
- 609
- 01:03:41,735 --> 01:03:44,033
- is such that I find it hard to swallow.
- 610
- 01:03:44,738 --> 01:03:49,585
- The Dakota wind, the smell of buffalo
- and churned-up grass,
- 611
- 01:03:50,243 --> 01:03:53,543
- smoking pine, burning fat, tobacco,
- 612
- 01:03:54,539 --> 01:03:58,510
- Indian girls wearing cut sage,
- sleeping on soft furs.
- 613
- 01:04:02,881 --> 01:04:05,134
- But, you see, it is time.
- 614
- 01:04:06,593 --> 01:04:09,266
- Time cannot be resisted.
- 615
- 01:04:09,346 --> 01:04:14,148
- Change comes the way the rain comes.
- Those days cannot return.
- 616
- 01:04:19,189 --> 01:04:20,316
- But, still,
- 617
- 01:04:21,691 --> 01:04:25,115
- there are rocks inside a man
- that the rain won't wash away.
- 618
- 01:04:25,195 --> 01:04:27,909
- - Meaning what exactly?
- - Meaning debts remain.
- 619
- 01:04:27,989 --> 01:04:29,491
- You reckon you're owed something?
- 620
- 01:04:30,241 --> 01:04:32,289
- Should we serve the soup?
- 621
- 01:04:32,369 --> 01:04:34,833
- General Crook, since the arrival of your men,
- 622
- 01:04:34,913 --> 01:04:39,129
- I must say there's been an air of sourness
- about the place.
- 623
- 01:04:39,209 --> 01:04:42,507
- Yes. Because debts remain.
- 624
- 01:04:42,587 --> 01:04:45,807
- Those beautiful days are not quite gone.
- Not quite.
- 625
- 01:04:47,634 --> 01:04:49,807
- Yes, Susan, why don't you bring the soup?
- 626
- 01:05:01,064 --> 01:05:03,408
- I got your invitation. Sorry I'm a bit late.
- 627
- 01:05:05,693 --> 01:05:08,992
- I have decided to help
- with the democratic process.
- 628
- 01:05:09,072 --> 01:05:10,199
- What happened to you?
- 629
- 01:05:10,281 --> 01:05:13,955
- I've already written to Senator Fracks
- about my presence here at the reservation.
- 630
- 01:05:14,035 --> 01:05:15,912
- I posted the letter in Cannon Ball,
- 631
- 01:05:15,995 --> 01:05:20,501
- where certain wild rumors about me
- led to a very violent reception.
- 632
- 01:05:20,583 --> 01:05:22,586
- Mrs. Weldon, if you have been assaulted,
- 633
- 01:05:22,669 --> 01:05:25,091
- I will take the matter up
- with the police and the military.
- 634
- 01:05:25,171 --> 01:05:27,886
- I've decided to help the campaign
- against the treaty.
- 635
- 01:05:27,966 --> 01:05:32,015
- I have a democratic right to do this
- as part of the political process.
- 636
- 01:05:32,095 --> 01:05:36,601
- Any violent move against me
- or any of the people I campaign with
- 637
- 01:05:36,683 --> 01:05:39,397
- will be reported to the Senator by wire.
- 638
- 01:05:39,477 --> 01:05:41,274
- You really should see a doctor about that.
- 639
- 01:05:41,354 --> 01:05:44,028
- I have been to a doctor. Good evening.
- 640
- 01:06:03,334 --> 01:06:05,462
- Sitting Bull.
- 641
- 01:06:07,672 --> 01:06:10,767
- He is...
- 642
- 01:06:12,135 --> 01:06:15,230
- what he thinks.
- 643
- 01:06:18,516 --> 01:06:20,359
- This...
- 644
- 01:06:21,019 --> 01:06:22,271
- is what he thinks.
- 645
- 01:06:25,023 --> 01:06:26,696
- Sitting Bull.
- 646
- 01:06:30,653 --> 01:06:33,952
- Maybe you should begin by
- explaining what the allotment is
- 647
- 01:06:34,032 --> 01:06:38,003
- and show them how much land
- will be taken away if they agree.
- 648
- 01:06:42,248 --> 01:06:44,251
- I can't be seen taking orders from you.
- 649
- 01:06:47,420 --> 01:06:49,798
- Now we will have to wait.
- 650
- 01:07:11,110 --> 01:07:12,783
- This treaty
- 651
- 01:07:14,155 --> 01:07:15,368
- is completely unjust.
- 652
- 01:07:20,411 --> 01:07:23,335
- Even the Comanche and Shoshone
- 653
- 01:07:24,332 --> 01:07:26,380
- wouldn't sign it.
- 654
- 01:07:47,230 --> 01:07:48,277
- How's it going?
- 655
- 01:07:49,732 --> 01:07:52,360
- These elders,
- they don't care to be told what to do.
- 656
- 01:07:52,443 --> 01:07:53,911
- How do we convince them to vote?
- 657
- 01:07:55,697 --> 01:07:57,916
- With food. I hope it's good.
- 658
- 01:08:02,370 --> 01:08:04,498
- This white woman cooks well.
- 659
- 01:08:06,124 --> 01:08:10,596
- Also she's got a good body.
- 660
- 01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:13,843
- I heard she is a spy.
- 661
- 01:08:13,923 --> 01:08:16,142
- You heard wrong.
- 662
- 01:08:16,759 --> 01:08:18,181
- Can she read?
- 663
- 01:08:18,428 --> 01:08:19,349
- Mm-hmm.
- 664
- 01:08:19,429 --> 01:08:21,306
- Has she read the treaty?
- 665
- 01:08:21,598 --> 01:08:27,105
- She says it is plain robbery.
- 666
- 01:08:27,478 --> 01:08:29,105
- You should be with her.
- 667
- 01:08:29,606 --> 01:08:31,108
- Okay, maybe I will be,
- 668
- 01:08:31,816 --> 01:08:32,987
- someday.
- 669
- 01:08:35,153 --> 01:08:40,620
- Fathers, we must tell all
- the people to vote...
- 670
- 01:08:40,700 --> 01:08:42,539
- I say forget the vote.
- 671
- 01:08:42,619 --> 01:08:45,333
- We should meet General Crook in
- the red earth valley by the Powder River.
- 672
- 01:08:45,413 --> 01:08:46,414
- We can ambush him
- 673
- 01:08:47,123 --> 01:08:48,124
- and cut off his...
- 674
- 01:08:48,207 --> 01:08:49,629
- Actually, I was hoping
- 675
- 01:08:49,709 --> 01:08:50,836
- to discuss the vote.
- 676
- 01:08:51,628 --> 01:08:52,924
- What are they saying?
- 677
- 01:08:53,004 --> 01:08:57,806
- The older ones, the new ways
- of resisting may take some time.
- 678
- 01:09:01,137 --> 01:09:02,514
- My relatives,
- 679
- 01:09:02,597 --> 01:09:06,397
- white people are trying to take our land
- 680
- 01:09:07,435 --> 01:09:12,658
- and make us live like they do.
- 681
- 01:09:13,983 --> 01:09:18,830
- If we do that we will die like the buffalo.
- 682
- 01:09:22,075 --> 01:09:24,497
- The Great Spirit
- 683
- 01:09:24,577 --> 01:09:29,800
- owns the land and the sky.
- 684
- 01:09:31,125 --> 01:09:32,672
- And that is how it's been
- 685
- 01:09:34,003 --> 01:09:36,926
- since the beginning of time.
- 686
- 01:11:13,561 --> 01:11:15,939
- The crowds are getting bigger every time.
- 687
- 01:11:23,321 --> 01:11:24,743
- Getting angrier, too.
- 688
- 01:11:26,532 --> 01:11:28,284
- They've been angry for a long time.
- 689
- 01:11:59,607 --> 01:12:00,904
- Are we here for the night?
- 690
- 01:12:08,366 --> 01:12:09,743
- You are here for the night.
- 691
- 01:12:15,081 --> 01:12:16,048
- Where are you going?
- 692
- 01:12:19,043 --> 01:12:19,965
- Can't you hear?
- 693
- 01:12:21,504 --> 01:12:23,097
- The thunder spirits have returned.
- 694
- 01:12:25,341 --> 01:12:27,765
- I read that the thunder spirits bring war.
- 695
- 01:12:33,516 --> 01:12:34,859
- They will vote for us.
- 696
- 01:14:01,479 --> 01:14:02,480
- What's happening?
- 697
- 01:14:03,189 --> 01:14:04,657
- My campaign committee.
- 698
- 01:14:35,012 --> 01:14:36,559
- People of the Sioux Nation,
- 699
- 01:14:38,307 --> 01:14:41,356
- I declare this commission open
- for submission.
- 700
- 01:14:43,187 --> 01:14:46,485
- Let me introduce the commission's mediator,
- 701
- 01:14:46,565 --> 01:14:48,158
- Colonel Silas Groves.
- 702
- 01:14:51,320 --> 01:14:52,538
- Good afternoon.
- 703
- 01:14:56,701 --> 01:14:59,999
- Before I ask the General to give
- his own testimony to his commission,
- 704
- 01:15:00,079 --> 01:15:02,126
- I have a list of council elders
- 705
- 01:15:02,206 --> 01:15:05,710
- who've all agreed to share
- their opinions with us.
- 706
- 01:15:06,669 --> 01:15:07,796
- And, to begin, I'd like to start
- 707
- 01:15:07,878 --> 01:15:10,506
- by calling Sioux Chief Black Bear
- of the Sans Arc Sioux.
- 708
- 01:15:20,558 --> 01:15:23,653
- The white people
- 709
- 01:15:24,770 --> 01:15:26,693
- have brought something good to us.
- 710
- 01:15:27,398 --> 01:15:31,028
- We will not own the land as a group.
- 711
- 01:15:31,110 --> 01:15:33,534
- Instead we will...
- 712
- 01:16:10,316 --> 01:16:13,195
- Chief Black Bear,
- please carry on with your testimony.
- 713
- 01:16:20,367 --> 01:16:22,836
- He's saying that's all he has to say.
- 714
- 01:16:24,080 --> 01:16:25,582
- Guess the cat got his tongue.
- 715
- 01:16:28,042 --> 01:16:29,419
- Next we'll hear from, uh...
- 716
- 01:16:31,002 --> 01:16:33,096
- Chief Yellow Hand.
- 717
- 01:16:38,636 --> 01:16:39,808
- Yellow Hand?
- 718
- 01:16:47,978 --> 01:16:51,232
- Then can we hear from John Grass
- of the Minneconjou?
- 719
- 01:16:53,526 --> 01:16:54,778
- Come on, John!
- 720
- 01:17:00,157 --> 01:17:02,079
- Sir, maybe we should call this off.
- 721
- 01:17:02,159 --> 01:17:03,497
- I thought you bribed these people.
- 722
- 01:17:03,577 --> 01:17:06,250
- I have a list of six more chiefs
- who gave me their word
- 723
- 01:17:06,330 --> 01:17:08,333
- they'd speak here today
- in favor of the Allotment Act.
- 724
- 01:17:08,415 --> 01:17:10,212
- Are any of them prepared to stand up?
- 725
- 01:17:10,292 --> 01:17:13,046
- We have a real chance here.
- Maybe we should adjourn till tomorrow.
- 726
- 01:17:13,129 --> 01:17:16,427
- - I would like to speak.
- - No, you won't.
- 727
- 01:17:16,507 --> 01:17:19,430
- He's not a registered member
- of any tribal council.
- 728
- 01:17:19,510 --> 01:17:22,104
- - We have the power to say no.
- - Power?
- 729
- 01:17:26,106 --> 01:17:29,190
- - You wanna speak, Bull? You go ahead.
- - General.
- 730
- 01:17:29,270 --> 01:17:31,819
- Let the man speak, for Christ's sake.
- This is a free land.
- 731
- 01:17:34,817 --> 01:17:36,945
- What do you have to say, my old friend?
- 732
- 01:17:58,591 --> 01:18:00,889
- Since the white man came
- 733
- 01:18:01,719 --> 01:18:06,100
- and broke up the grassland with his ploughs,
- 734
- 01:18:07,099 --> 01:18:09,313
- the earth has turned to dust.
- 735
- 01:18:14,273 --> 01:18:18,697
- In this dust,
- there is the body of Crazy Horse...
- 736
- 01:18:20,696 --> 01:18:22,543
- American Horse...
- 737
- 01:18:24,533 --> 01:18:26,322
- Spotted Tail...
- 738
- 01:18:28,412 --> 01:18:29,750
- Black Kettle...
- 739
- 01:18:31,330 --> 01:18:32,753
- Sword...
- 740
- 01:18:34,033 --> 01:18:35,547
- Two Moons...
- 741
- 01:18:36,427 --> 01:18:38,475
- Rain in the Face.
- 742
- 01:18:39,155 --> 01:18:41,009
- When the wind blows...
- 743
- 01:18:43,677 --> 01:18:46,355
- it blows our heroes in our faces.
- 744
- 01:18:49,058 --> 01:18:50,185
- Our diplomats.
- 745
- 01:18:53,520 --> 01:18:54,933
- Our doctors.
- 746
- 01:18:58,067 --> 01:18:59,405
- Our priests.
- 747
- 01:19:10,704 --> 01:19:12,251
- Our dead children.
- 748
- 01:19:27,388 --> 01:19:30,767
- The Great Spirit speaks to us
- in clouds of dust.
- 749
- 01:19:37,982 --> 01:19:39,595
- You cannot sell...
- 750
- 01:19:41,110 --> 01:19:42,598
- pieces of the earth...
- 751
- 01:19:46,740 --> 01:19:49,914
- because the earth belongs to God.
- 752
- 01:19:53,789 --> 01:19:56,668
- We must tell these people to go home...
- 753
- 01:19:57,710 --> 01:19:59,508
- back to Washington,
- 754
- 01:20:00,212 --> 01:20:03,010
- and not hurt the earth anymore.
- 755
- 01:20:07,761 --> 01:20:10,059
- Enough. Enough.
- 756
- 01:20:31,910 --> 01:20:34,613
- We will give no more of our land away.
- 757
- 01:20:35,831 --> 01:20:38,175
- Not even this much.
- 758
- 01:21:04,526 --> 01:21:06,073
- Anybody else care to speak?
- 759
- 01:21:06,820 --> 01:21:08,647
- Why are you not helping me, General?
- 760
- 01:21:09,031 --> 01:21:11,124
- - We have to adjourn.
- - Adjourn?
- 761
- 01:21:11,450 --> 01:21:13,043
- Why don't we go straight to a vote?
- 762
- 01:21:14,036 --> 01:21:15,833
- Sir, if we vote now, they'll vote against.
- You know that.
- 763
- 01:21:15,913 --> 01:21:17,584
- It's called democracy, Colonel Groves.
- 764
- 01:21:17,664 --> 01:21:19,462
- This is a mistake, General.
- 765
- 01:21:26,465 --> 01:21:29,805
- All those in favor of the Allotment Treaty,
- 766
- 01:21:29,885 --> 01:21:32,354
- line up at the red circle.
- 767
- 01:21:33,889 --> 01:21:37,563
- Those against it, line up at the blue.
- 768
- 01:21:47,736 --> 01:21:50,911
- What the hell are they doing?
- They're handing us a victory.
- 769
- 01:22:03,669 --> 01:22:07,509
- You don't get it, do you?
- Don't you understand?
- 770
- 01:22:07,589 --> 01:22:09,842
- This is what the General wanted all along.
- 771
- 01:22:11,593 --> 01:22:14,347
- If we lose the vote,
- they'll have an excuse to go to war.
- 772
- 01:22:15,889 --> 01:22:18,062
- And deep down,
- that's what the Bull wants, too.
- 773
- 01:22:43,375 --> 01:22:46,299
- To find our way on the open prairie,
- we stop sometimes
- 774
- 01:22:47,796 --> 01:22:50,800
- and look, remember.
- 775
- 01:22:52,843 --> 01:22:54,061
- With people, too.
- 776
- 01:22:58,348 --> 01:23:00,521
- You stop sometimes and look and remember.
- 777
- 01:23:03,937 --> 01:23:05,610
- It's called cantognake.
- 778
- 01:23:07,065 --> 01:23:08,738
- To place and hold in your heart.
- 779
- 01:23:12,654 --> 01:23:13,655
- This moment.
- 780
- 01:23:15,616 --> 01:23:17,038
- Our power returning.
- 781
- 01:23:18,785 --> 01:23:19,877
- Young again.
- 782
- 01:23:23,457 --> 01:23:24,834
- Hold it in your heart.
- 783
- 01:23:27,085 --> 01:23:29,053
- You are already in my heart.
- 784
- 01:23:33,217 --> 01:23:34,469
- So, you should know...
- 785
- 01:23:36,720 --> 01:23:39,519
- the spirits have told me
- that this is the winter
- 786
- 01:23:40,641 --> 01:23:43,019
- I'll cross over into the spirit world.
- 787
- 01:23:48,565 --> 01:23:51,068
- No. I don't want...
- 788
- 01:23:52,569 --> 01:23:54,037
- Don't tell me that.
- 789
- 01:24:01,620 --> 01:24:02,997
- Cantognake.
- 790
- 01:24:27,604 --> 01:24:28,696
- I've finished it.
- 791
- 01:24:29,314 --> 01:24:30,281
- Come and see.
- 792
- 01:25:05,601 --> 01:25:07,274
- You've made me look too old.
- 793
- 01:25:46,892 --> 01:25:48,019
- Congratulations.
- 794
- 01:25:49,770 --> 01:25:50,862
- It's a beautiful painting.
- 795
- 01:25:52,189 --> 01:25:53,657
- Get out of my house.
- 796
- 01:25:54,483 --> 01:25:56,986
- I came to warn you.
- 797
- 01:25:58,445 --> 01:26:01,290
- Tomorrow morning before dawn,
- 798
- 01:26:02,032 --> 01:26:07,129
- they will be coming to arrest you.
- 799
- 01:26:07,871 --> 01:26:09,168
- What did he say?
- 800
- 01:26:09,915 --> 01:26:16,389
- Sedition. Intimidation of witnesses.
- 801
- 01:26:17,547 --> 01:26:22,019
- Ghost Dance religion.
- 802
- 01:26:24,429 --> 01:26:26,181
- Doesn't really matter a damn.
- 803
- 01:26:30,811 --> 01:26:33,815
- I remember your face.
- 804
- 01:26:35,023 --> 01:26:41,577
- We were hiding in the Killdeer mountains.
- 805
- 01:26:42,906 --> 01:26:44,499
- It was snowing
- 806
- 01:26:46,410 --> 01:26:50,256
- when the soldiers came.
- 807
- 01:26:54,876 --> 01:27:01,305
- Half the women and children surrendered.
- 808
- 01:27:03,552 --> 01:27:06,180
- You gave the order to open fire.
- 809
- 01:27:08,432 --> 01:27:12,153
- You killed them all.
- 810
- 01:27:16,231 --> 01:27:19,155
- That's why I'm here.
- 811
- 01:27:21,445 --> 01:27:26,668
- I hoped perhaps there wouldn't be
- any more blood on the snow.
- 812
- 01:27:28,785 --> 01:27:31,664
- Hoped that for once
- 813
- 01:27:31,747 --> 01:27:37,425
- history would go in a straight line,
- 814
- 01:27:38,879 --> 01:27:45,347
- not in a circle.
- 815
- 01:27:45,427 --> 01:27:50,684
- You think I forgive you?
- 816
- 01:27:51,349 --> 01:27:52,813
- No.
- 817
- 01:27:52,893 --> 01:27:59,071
- But if it means anything,
- 818
- 01:27:59,983 --> 01:28:04,614
- I haven't really slept since that day.
- 819
- 01:28:12,579 --> 01:28:17,381
- When they come for you,
- they will kill her too.
- 820
- 01:28:19,085 --> 01:28:21,133
- If you care about her,
- 821
- 01:28:21,213 --> 01:28:25,685
- send her outside when the moon rises.
- 822
- 01:28:26,384 --> 01:28:27,351
- What is it?
- 823
- 01:28:29,679 --> 01:28:33,024
- Don't forget about our dinner
- in New York City, Mrs. Weldon.
- 824
- 01:29:09,970 --> 01:29:12,143
- Jesus, it's so quiet.
- I wish a dog would bark.
- 825
- 01:29:18,144 --> 01:29:20,613
- They really can't charge you with sedition.
- 826
- 01:29:23,400 --> 01:29:26,700
- And I'm a witness
- you never took part in any violence.
- 827
- 01:29:31,700 --> 01:29:33,168
- When does the river freeze?
- 828
- 01:29:35,036 --> 01:29:36,458
- When the geese fly.
- 829
- 01:29:36,538 --> 01:29:39,508
- We have to leave before then, or...
- 830
- 01:29:40,625 --> 01:29:42,923
- we'll be stuck here all winter.
- 831
- 01:29:43,670 --> 01:29:44,671
- We'll leave tomorrow.
- 832
- 01:29:48,967 --> 01:29:52,562
- And when we go to New York,
- we can stay in my apartment.
- 833
- 01:30:16,578 --> 01:30:18,251
- My parents will have a fit.
- 834
- 01:30:26,713 --> 01:30:29,307
- There's lights in the streets now
- since you've been there.
- 835
- 01:30:31,927 --> 01:30:33,930
- It never really gets dark anymore.
- 836
- 01:30:39,059 --> 01:30:41,062
- Fire needs more logs.
- 837
- 01:30:41,770 --> 01:30:42,862
- I'm warm enough.
- 838
- 01:30:59,496 --> 01:31:02,341
- Go. The Lakota like a woman who works hard.
- 839
- 01:31:11,716 --> 01:31:14,431
- Woman Walks Ahead.
- 840
- 01:31:14,511 --> 01:31:16,559
- Hold and keep me in your heart.
- 841
- 01:31:36,074 --> 01:31:41,046
- No! No!
- 842
- 01:31:49,295 --> 01:31:50,342
- What's happening?
- 843
- 01:31:51,423 --> 01:31:54,302
- Corporal? Where are you going?
- 844
- 01:32:10,483 --> 01:32:12,781
- We're off the reservation.
- You're free to go. You're safe.
- 845
- 01:32:14,904 --> 01:32:18,329
- Mrs. Wel... Mrs. Weldon,
- you'll never make it!
