Fraher, who is Osage, is working with local Natives on the project. Onondaga Chief Irving Powless and Faithkeeper Oren Lyons are consultations. Jancy Ball, a member of the Oneida Nation, is the film's associate producer, and Jeanne Shenandoah, an Onondaga tribal member, is serving as a location manager.
