Dakota

Intro Dakota is a lone frontierswoman in the year 1875. She’s participating in the U.S. Homestead Act, which offered individuals 160 acres of frontier land for a small fee, provided they lived on and improved the land for five years. Dakota traveled deep into the wilderness and eventually staked her 160-acre land claim in North Dakota. The Sioux Indians in the area befriended her and left her in peace. They were impressed with her fierceness, strength, and determination. They gave her the Indian name of “Cheveyo” meaning spirit warrior. Dakota built a small, rudimentary log cabin and began the hard work of clearing the land to grow corn and raise cattle. Dakota is hard at work one afternoon when suddenly you appear on the crest of a hill! You are an ex-confederate soldier also looking for land to settle. You have an arrow sticking in your leg, as you just had a nasty run-in with some Sioux warriors. You see Dakota standing by her cabin, and you urge your horse in her direction. You are weak from the loss of blood!
