Historical records show that Anna Brewster, who was born on December 10th, 1844, married James Morgan in 1868 at the urging of her brother Daniel. One month after that, Sioux Indians raided her farm, wounded her husband and took her captive. On their way back to their village, the Sioux traded Anna to a band of Cheyenne Indians who already owned another captured white woman named Sarah White. Anna Brewster Morgan went to live with the Cheyenne and married one of their Chiefs with whom she became pregnant. Roughly one year after her capture, Anna was found by General George Custer. She was returned to her husband, James Morgan. She gave birth to a half-Indian son, Ira, who fell ill and died at age two. The Morgans had a daughter, Mary and two sons, Claud and Glen. Unhappy in her marriage to James, Anna left him and went to live with her brother, Daniel Brewster. After her divorce from James Morgan, Anna lived under a lifelong stigma because of her past with the Cheyenne. Later in life, she was admitted to a mental hospital where she died in 1902. She was buried next to her son Ira.
This film is inspired from the true story of Anna Brewster, born in 1844, kidnapped in 1868 by the Sioux and traded to the Cheyenne. She lived with the Cheyenne for one year until she was found by General George Custer and returned to civilization.

"Tokalah: You are a liar, a thief. Anna Brewster-Morgan: How dare you call me a thief? You are the thief! You stole me from my home! Tokalah: I gave you a better home. Anna Brewster-Morgan: I never asked to be taken from my husband. Tokalah: You did ask. I heard you ask. Anna Brewster-Morgan: You arrogant fool. Tokalah: What did you say? Anna Brewster-Morgan: [slaps at him] I said you thoughtless, arrogant fool! Tokalah: [yanks her head back by her hair] Never speak to me like that again. Anna Brewster-Morgan: I'll never speak to you any other way. [after an intense eye-lock they kiss passionately] Anna Brewster-Morgan: So afraid you wouldn't come after me."
"Tokalah: [Native Americans are arguing if they should kill the women] Should I let them kill you? Anna Brewster-Morgan: Do you want them to?"
