A period piece, beginning in 1906, and all based on a true story. Mary thompson (Q'orianka Kilcher) is a little girl, part of the chickasaw nation. She has an active imagination, but no-one appreciates her creative spirit. Against her father's wishes, she heads off to the oklahoma college, where she learns to tell stories, monologues, that tell the strories of her people. Overcoming bigotry, family tragedies and more, she went on to perform for the roosevelts, as well as the king of england. She was quite accomplished!
