In 1912 a posse made up of cowboys and state police caught up with an Indian family on the run and massacred almost all of them.Ā Murderous Indians, vengeful whites: a simple Western story that when told through the multiple points of view of its participants, the sheriff who couldnāt intercept the posse in time, the son of a murdered Basque rancher, and, most poignantly, Shoshone Mikeās adolescent daughter, has the elements of a Greek tragedy.Ā
