Synopsis: The smell of battle and death wafts across peaceful windswept prairies, where millions of buffalo once grazed. With the Government and settlers staking claim to the Cree Indian lands and hunting grounds, the slowly starving Cree are forced from the land they call home. Torn between loyalty to their leader, Chief Big Bear and bitterness at the broken promises of the white man, the Cree are desperate. Pushed to the breaking point and rejecting Big Bear's impassioned pleas, Cree warriors launch a deadly attack at Frog Lake. With vengeful army troops relentlessly in pursuit, Big Bear knows another even more bloody battle will follow -- one that will change the lives of his people forever.
