Synopsis:

Darrell Waters, a brash young attorney, returns to his childhood home in Montana to broker a deal between a large energy company and the Blackfeet Nation. In the process, he is forced to confront his reclusive father about their painful past. Through a childhood sweetheart, Dorothy Dark Eyes, he rediscovers his identity and feels his perspective shift: his clever business deal will destroy her language school, further erode Blackfeet culture and taint their land. Darrell must grapple with the paradigm of being Native American in America.

Hey Peter,

  Here is a quote from the show…

“We’ll build a hoop sacred with wonder, share with the world.” 

If you can believe it, I’d still like to look through the photos. Will do asap

   By the way, the characters who say that quote in a song if you still want it are Darrell, White Feather, and Pyooksisstikoom (which means Distant Thunder).
