Native

This is an alternate reality story centered around the North American Indian tribes around the time of Custer's last stand (1876). Running Bear, chief of the Lakota Sioux, has a vision from the Great Spirit. If he follows it exactly and without deviation, the future of his people and all indigenous peoples is assured. It involves uniting all remaining North American tribes in an unprecedented strategy that is bold as it is risky. The lives of all Native Americans and the future of the land called "America" is the reward for success and total annihilation is the result of failure. It is an action/adventure story featuring Native Americans as the focus with a cast of 1000's and beautiful locations, realistic battle sequences, surprise allies, traitors and even the Queen of England! This story shows Native Americans in a positive light as they fight for the land that the Great Spirit gave them thousands of years ago. The warrior spirit and culture of compassion, emotion and sensitivity towards the land is the real star of this expansive and unique script.

  1. Jake, 'Native' has the potential to be a wonderfully successful story that displays the true reality of a deserving people in a manner that touches the heart, dazzles the imagination, and challenges the mind with a historical truth. Great story! Congratulations on a uniquely sensitive winner...I can't wait for your trailer, for I know you will do it justice.
