He burnt it?
Well, naturally.
He's God Almighty here, right?
I read it, though,
before he burnt it.
Is it true
you've painted senators?
Before I married,
I used to paint commissions
for the Smithsonian.
that I've painted
important people before.
[DOG BARKS]
This isn't the way
I came from the station.
Where are we?
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

[SHE SPEAKS LAKOTA]
He's in the fields,
digging potatoes.
- Who is?
- My uncle.
Sitting Bull.
[GRUNTS]
There he is.
[SPEAKS LAKOTA]
My name's Catherine Weldon.
I'm deeply honored to meet you.
[THEY SPEAK LAKOTA]
What happened?
Don't I get an explanation?
I had this stupid idea
you might be able to help us.
Help with what?
I've got friends from Indian
school, Kiowas, Comanches,
and last summer a new treaty
took half their land,
and this winter it's our turn
but no-one here gives a damn.
The young ones just get drunk
and the old ones,
[CHASKA] My uncle?
He says his day is done.
He'd rather dig damn potatoes.
What good
a message to your senators.
Maybe they would listen
if it came from Sitting Bull.
Let's go.
I want to speak to him.
So, speak to him. He speaks
English well enough.
When he wants to.
Excuse me.
I have traveled many miles
from the east...
...across many...
...rivers and hills...
...for the honor
of speaking with you.
You got a train
from New York, right?
Did you get a Pullman?
- Yes.
- Nice.
They gave me free cigars too.
I have a proposition.
So, who have you painted before?
Oh, Congressman Tom Ochiltree
from Texas
from Idaho.
So, how much?
How much for what?
For painting someone's picture.
but in this case...
I mean how much
would you pay me?
I'd be happy to pay you $50.
$100.
[SINGS LAKOTA SONG]
$500.
$1,000.
That's a lot of money. I...
I don't have that kind
of cash with me.
in town.
$1,000 it is.
Do we have a deal?
What?
It's raining.
[RAIN POURS]
How long has it been
since it rained?
we don't speak for a while.
Oh.
Words get in the way
of getting to know each other.
Sorry.
on the fire, though.
Lakota likes a woman
who works hard.
[SPEAKS LAKOTA]
That's not firewood.
That's furniture.
Oh! Oh.
Maybe I could make some coffee?
Well, to make coffee,
you'd need coffee.
