El vigilante nocturno

1953, North Dakota. Thomas Wazhashk is the night watchman of the first factory opened near the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation. He is also a prominent member of the Chippewa Council, baffled by a new bill that will soon be brought before Congress. The United States Government qualifies the measure as "an emancipation," but rather it appears to further restrict the freedom and rights of Native Americans over their land, based on their identity. Thomas, outraged by this new betrayal of his people and even if he has to face all of Washington D.C., he will do everything possible to fight it. On the other hand, and unlike most of the girls in the community, Pixie Paranteau does not plan to carry a husband and lots of children in any way. She already has enough with her job at the factory, earning just enough to support her mother and her brother, not to mention her father, who only shows up when she needs money to keep drinking. Plus, Pixie needs to save every penny to get to Minnesota and find Vera, her long-lost sister.
