Like some other Native teens on Montana reservations, Rhonda Runningcrane attempted suicide. To her, life seemed bleak and pointless.

Unlike her friends, Rhonda is inspired to join the fight, even though she knows it could be dangerous. Using skills she learned from her uncle, Rhonda becomes part of the crew that keeps the protesters' camp running. With inspiration from a wise Native elder, the teen commits herself to an important cause, dedicating her life to protecting the sacred waters of Mother Earth.Gary Robinson (Choctaw/Cherokee descent), an award-winning writer and producer, has spent his life creating Indigenous material for hundreds of Indigenous educational, instructional, and documentary television programs.
