Plot

Set in the early days of North America, European settlers force Natives aside, taking over their sacred lands on which they had lived for thousands of years. The great Chief Big Bear envisioned a Northwest in which all peoples lived together peaceably, and in the 1880s made history by standing his ground to keep his Plains Cree nation from being forced onto a small piece of land called reserves.

The food supply (buffalo) was vanishing, but the Cree Chief Big Bear led his people across the prairie, resisting pressure to forcibly give rights to the land and give up freedom in exchange for temporary nourishment.

The unfortunate struggle brought starvation to his followers, tearing apart the community and eventually his own family. The movie follows Big Bear’s life as he lives through the last buffalo hunt, the coming of the railway, the pacification of the Native tribes, and his own imprisonment.
