Blackfeet
poet Darrell Robes Kipp, a man striving to save the
Blackfeet language, unexpectedly joins the Lewis and Clark
Bicentennial Commission to make sure that the American
Indian side of history is told. Quirky classical composer
Rob Kapilow travels west from Lincoln Center to find
inspiration for a commissioned symphony about the Lewis and
Clark expedition. When Rob meets Darrell and asks him to
collaborate with him on words that will tell the Indian
side of history through the new symphony, their “odd
couple” collaboration creates a provocative piece of
music that connects the Blackfeet seat of Browning, Montana
to the rarefied air of symphony halls across the country.
