Set against the backdrop of the 1850s Pacific Northwest, the narrative centers on the conflict between Native Americans and white settlers, particularly focusing on Governor Isaac Ingalls Stevens' controversial policies aimed at relocating the Nisqually tribe. Chief Leschi emerges as a key figure in the native resistance, yet his efforts to protect his people lead to tragic consequences. The story explores themes of oppression, injustice, and the violent repercussions of colonial expansion, highlighting the profound impact on both the tribe and the region's history.
