This is a real native made supernatural horror mystery actually filmed almost entirely on the Pine Ridge Reservation. It features more than one native actress, but the main star is the multi-talented Tonantzin Carmelo (who is of Tongva and Kuemyaay ancetry from her mother, she is also of Nahua decent) (in historical terms those people's used to be known as Gabreileno Indians, Diegueno Indians and Aztecs respectively--her name is Nahuatl and means Mother Earth--in the times of The Triple Alliance AKA "The Aztec Empire" Tonantzin was a Goddess, she is still very much revered and the old dance to her has been preserved). Carla-Rae (who is Seneca/Mohawk/French) plays her mother.
