Shy professor and beautiful Native American activist face deadly opposition to reclaim a third of Colorado and the Black Hills of South Dakota for Native Americans. (Six 1-hr episodes ready to film)

SYNOPSIS:

Imagine a TV adventure-drama series with the grandeur of Yellowstone, but where Native Americans stage their greatest comeback in five centuries!

In the pilot episode for TREATY, a shy young professor (WES POWELL), flirty student, and a sexy Indian activist attorney (SILVER WHITEHORSE) are swept into a murder investigation of an Indian activist. The present day killing, extortion, and strong-arm tactics by the water-grabbing corporation, California Water and Trade were set in motion by a seemingly unconnected chain of social injustices beginning 140 years earlier. In the second episode, Hidden Treasure, the professor finds love and an Indian’s journal, which provides the map to the original copy of the TREATY, returning a third of Colorado to the Cheyenne Indians.

Episode 3 picks up a few years in the future, and the lead role shifts to Silver Whitehorse. The western third of Colorado, and all its water and riches are in Indian hands. A small band of ultra-patriotic Americans, the “New Sons of Liberty,” led by a charismatic COLONEL TRAVIS KEY, will stop at nothing to take the land back. To speed the revolution along, western water interests enlist a mercenary to assassinate the top three Indian leaders. It’s up to one of the leaders, SILVER WHITEHORSE and her husband, WES POWELL, who are on a high-class wilderness trip, to avoid wolves and grizzlies, torrential storms, and the Colonel’s small army. Episode 4, “Revolution,” explores the fine lines between freedom-fighters and terrorists; racial prejudice and blending; and diplomacy and violence. A ghost town near Aspen provides the backdrop for the showdown. Will Silver and Wes sink to a military solution to save their new nation-within-a-nation?

In Episodes 5 (“Pahá Sápa”) and 6 (“Battle for the Black Hills”), Wes and Silver are called upon to return the Black Hills to the Sioux Nation. Anti-Indian sentiment, a growing unlawful militia, a gun rights activist, and a slightly-fading movie star stand in their way. The Battle of the Black Hills, isn’t just a story where the Native Americans win, they win BIG! The sacred Pahá Sápa is returned to the Native Americans.
