Raised on a Sioux reservation in the 1960s, young Lakota girl Mary Crow Dog (Irene Bedard) learns the history of her people at the foot of her grandfather Fool Bull (Floyd "Red Crow" Westerman), a survivor of the legendary massacre at Wounded Knee in 1890. Forced to attend a Catholic boarding school, she loses touch with her tribal heritage until becoming radicalized by a fellow student (Amy Moore Davis) and going forth to regain her Native American identity.
