In the early 1970s, the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota held the highest murder rate(per capita) in the United States. The residents of Pine Ridge were living in a constant state of fear and anxiety. It was this environment that would play host to a deadly gunfight that permanently altered the lives of everyone involved.
