Ohiyesa: The Soul of an Indian

The Life of a Prolific Native Author, Lecturer & Physician

A deeply personal family film that follows Kate Beane, an urban, Dakota scholar, and her family as they trace the remarkable life of their celebrated relative, Ohiyesa (Charles Eastman), an important author, activist, lecturer, and one of the first Native American doctors.

Along the way, Beane uncovers uncanny parallels between their lives, though they were born more than 100 years apart.
