Through a lens focused on the Native experience, K’ina’kil is the story of Tintah, a young Indian, as he searches for purpose and peace in California’s raucous, brutal Gold Rush. Near the mine fields, Indian girls are kidnapped for sex, entire villages are enslaved and those natives who refuse to bend to the will of the white men are hunted for sport and profit. Told through actual historic events this character-driven story tells of our country’s fortune and shame during California’s painfulbeginnings.
