Alberta is a university professor who would lifee to trade her two boyfriends for a baby but no husband; Lionel is forty and still sells televisions for a patronizing boss; Eli and his log
cabin stand in the way of a profitable dam project. These three—and others—are coming to the Blacbfoot reservation for the Sun Dance and there
