HOMESTEAD TP

North Dakota, 1868: a retired soldier prepares his new family for a fresh start on land issued to him as part of the Homestead Act, unaware it overlaps with territory occupied by the Lakota Nation, including a proud warrior and a zeaous medicine man willling to go to supernatural extremes in order to protect their people's way of life. What happens next is not a story of "good guys" versus "bad guys," but rather a story of two families each trying to defend their loved ones, their way of life, and their homestead.
