In 1980 life is hard on the Tuscarora Reservation in upstate New York, and most of the teenagers feel like they are going nowhere: Carson Mastick dreams of forming a rock band, and Maggi Bokoni longs to create her own conceptual artwork instead of the traditional beadwork that her family sells to tourists--but tensions are rising between the reservation and the surrounding communities, and somehow in the confusion of politics and growing up Carson and Maggi have to make a place for themselves.
Profiles ten Native American musicians, including Cherokee vocalist Michael Bucher, Seminole flutist Mary Youngblood, Navajo punk rock band Blackfire, Cree country singer Shane Yellowbird, and others.
