In 1903, among the three hundred Indian children living at a boarding school in a remote valley in Montana were a handful of teenage girls. They quickly learned to play basketball and resoundingly crushed all opponents, including mens and womens university teams.

This is the story of that team, seen through the eyes of star player, Minnie Burton.
