00:23- I'm not the one that took it from you.
00:25- Doesn't matter. Still got took.
00:28(dramatic music continues)
00:32- You here to try to take it back?
00:36- Here to ask a favor.
00:40- Ask.
00:43- My father was born here.
00:48This is where he'd like to rest.
00:51- So you wanna bury him here?
00:55- I want to put him in that tree
00:58where the wolves won't dig him up,
00:59and he won't spend the spring in the mud,
01:03where relatives could come visit.
01:06He could find peace in that tree a long time ago.
01:15Now there is no peace.
01:18Maybe you sell this land or lose it to the bank,
01:22then someone finds this tree,
01:25scatters his bones, steals his sacreds.
01:31Then he has no peace forever.
01:39So, I will bury him here if you'll let me.
01:46- I'll let you.
01:49Where do you wanna bury him?
01:51- Some place no one finds him.
01:54You included.
01:58- It's a long ride from the reservation.
02:02- Eight sleeps.
02:05- These horses look hungry.
02:07- They are.
02:10- You look hungry too.
02:13- I'm used to being hungry.
02:18- Yeah, it's been a hard winter.
02:22- All winters are hard.
02:24- This one, this one is punishment.
02:28- Your horses can graze here
02:30while you choose a spot for your father.
02:34We'll leave you beef.
02:38- Thank you.
02:39(gentle music)
02:40- Boys, let's push these cattle outta here.
02:44Cut out a steer for 'em, all right?
02:47- I'm sorry for you being punished.
