My kind of country right there... Dead of winter. Real name Eric The sharpest hammer in the box of crayons.

Link to news story? https://www.refinery29.com/2017/08/166625/wind-river-review-indian-reservation-sex-crime-drugs I don't know if the movie is based on one actual event or is just a representation of common occurrences on reservations. A family member of mine got involved with a Shoshone gal and moved out to the WR reservation. This family member wasn't a model citizen and had spent time in prison and had seen some of the rougher side of life... I don't think he made it a month on the rez before he moved back to town. It's not a nice place. Mike You hit it on the head Mike.....According to Wikipedia..... According to Sheridan (the Director), the opening "inspired by true events" card[6] was a reference to the "thousands of actual stories just like it" involving sexual assault of women on reservations, his primary motivation for writing the film.[7] Happy trapping!

He knew the members of the reservation since his ex-wife was a Native American and he had a daughter to her that was also murdered a few years prior.

Iowa	I've hunted in cold weather for almost 40 years, been gasping for air because of exertion chasing coyote and fox, never once even got a sore throat from cold air, one stalk I did During -58 wind chill. Bare foot, no long johns, I doubt I would have made it six miles like that poor girl did, I highly doubt the frozen lung thing, more likely exposier, being out in too cold of temperature, killed her imo Last edited by Tactical.20; 04/16/18 09:19 AM.
