Switch to the next day with Longstand Begay talking to Blackfoot

              about the scam that Mike and Yoshi pulled on him to sign the deed.

            (Longstand)  How  could  you  do  this  to  us  grandfather?  (Blackfoot)

            Simple. Mike fooled me with his swift words of the coyote. (Longstand) I
            only have one question.


                                        Blackfoot looks at Longstand.


            (Longstand) Is this our destiny? (Blackfoot) Our destiny isn’t written in

            stone. We’ll be fine in the end.

            At that moment, Ben and Tracey walk into the scene at Blackfoot’s

            home.


            (Ben) Grandfather, is it true about our homes? (Longstand) Ben, now is
            not the time to ask questions. We have to go to the emergency meeting
            at the council hall.


                 Switch to a mealy of reporters and Indians out in front of the

                                                     council hall.


            (Gate  Guard’s  son)  Look,  the  council  may  have  said  “no”,  but  the
            Japanese know how to get shit done. We are rich and soon we’ll have jobs

            and with it comes respect. (Mohave Chief) Please, please, one moment.
            No good can come from evil in the form of lies. (Gate Guard’s son) You
            say  lies,  old  man.  I  say  who  gives  a  fuck.  We  as  a  nation  will  make  an

            impact.  (CNN  Reporter)  We  are  here  live  once  again  at  the  Navajo,
            Apache  and  Mohave  Indian  Reservation  where  word  has  it  that  the

            reservation has been sold last night when Mike Kelly  of the Kelly Corp.
            and  a  Japanese businessman  who  sources  confirm  to  be  a  Yoshi  Kim  of

            the  Goza  Corp.  (CNN  Anchor-men)  That’s  correct,  Allen.  Yoshi  Kim  is
            confirmed to be the Goza Corp. representative. Heat is the climate out

            there now? (CNN Reporter) As you can see, it’s split this reservation in
            half,  with  some  people  happy  about  the  deal  and  some  groups  are
            optimistic as to the choices of either side. I would have to say the…
