Among all the battles, the Battle of Little Bighorn gained mythic status: on June 25, 1876, much of the 7th Cavalry Regiment under Lt. Col. George A. Custer was wiped out by a combined force of Sioux and Cheyenne under Sioux chiefs, Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse. Within a year, however, most of the Sioux and Cheyenne surrendered,

Other Native Americans fought on—Chief Joseph and the Nez Percé in the late 1870s, Geronimo and the Apaches as late as the 1880s.

Victor Joseph is a young Native American in his late teens who lives on a reservation. His father drank, beat him

occasionally, and left home when Victor Joseph was eight. As the film begins, word comes that the father has died.

With another boy from the reservation Victor Joseph journeys to Phoenix to retrieve his father's ashes and his truck. On the trip Victor Joseph learns about the life his father lead and comes to terms with his own identity. "Smoke Signals" is said to be the first film that was

written, directed and co-produced by Native Americans.
