A fictionalized account of the infamous massacre of Cheyenne and Arapaho at Sand Creek by a militia unit led by an extremist Colonel.

For the 150th anniversary of the Sand Creek Massacre, a simple pairing: images of the site of the Sand Creek Massacre in southeastern Colorado; the sounds of fireworks from my neighborhood recorded on the 4th of July.

After a cavalry group is massacred by the Cheyenne, only two survivors remain: Honus, a naive private devoted to his duty, and Cresta, a young woman who had lived with the Cheyenne two years and whose sympathies lie more with them than with the US government. Together, they must try to reach the cavalry's main base camp. As they travel onward, Honus is torn between his growing affection for Cresta.
