the end of the film, George becomes disillusioned with AIM and the activist lifestyle, due to repeated failures and the lack of impact their actions seem to have. His father convinces him to remain active, citing his family legacy of resistance to the US Government and describing it as their duty. The film ends at the DAPL protests, where George has recommitted to AIM and his family legacy. Legacy and the family history are central to the way that Guy raises George and are recurring themes throughout the film. They are demonstrated through a series of animations which depict key moments in Dull Knife family history and are based on paintings created by Guy. Family history and contemporary context are told through these animations, which alternate with George's ongoing story. Production Filming began in April 2010 and continued until December 2016. Production trips were conducted in an episodic way and generally lasted from a few days to several weeks, with a small crew, usually from one to three people. Animations were created simultaneously and during post-production. Nebraska-based artist Michael Burton worked with Guy, creating the painted stop-motion animations in his Lincoln, NE studio. The film is a coproduction of ITVS, Vision Maker Media, and Normal Life Pictures, Inc. It received additional funding from Tribeca Film Institute, Humanities Nebraska, and the South Dakota Humanities Council.
