The movie had a plot to start off. Grandfather was a Story Teller from Pine Ridge, Lakota. Had been wounded in WW 2 was 87 years old. Had a troubled grandson who was being hounded by the local Rez "gangbangers" for money owed. Grandson is talked into taking his grandfather to a Pow Wow 600 miles away. In return Grandson gets Grandpa's 1966 truck beater. Grandfather starts his story telling, shows diversity among various indian people stories. Tribes from the east Mohawks or the confederation, along with the Algonquin speaking tribes, one from the North west and the Plains indians, various time frames from 1600 to about 1830. My grandmother was a story teller (Clan mother type) so I can relate. The plot thickens when Grandpa takes grandson to meet grandsons estranged recovering Alcoholic father . Thinking most of the time grandson is going to Pow Wow meets a father he hates. Grandpa dies in night, father and son reunite, grandson goes to Pow wow riding Grandpa's horse. Estranged father takes grandpa back to Pine Ridge. Grandson follows in Grandpa's tradition and becomes story teller. Everyone lives happily ever-after?! Bottom line it depicts indian people as bright caring people (not white man's savage) and shows factual tradition. How about them apples Crudgemudgen? Earl (runs with dogs)
