She does not know if her husband is alive or dead, when Ottawa, takes her, her daughter, her friend, Milly and Milly’s son as captives. As Philomena tries to deal with the horrors that befall her, an adopted son of Chief Ottawa, Wechela, whom the Sioux captured as a child from the Shoshone, befriends her and helps lift her burden.
