HOOP JUMPER
Synopsis

In 1900, Weli Wimsey, a mixed-blood Cherokee, hopes his home life will change for the better after he signs up for the Dawes Rolls at the urging of his white wife, Florence. During the questioning, he is stunned to realize how little he does know about himself and his identity as a Cherokee, as the heritage he has taken for granted his whole life comes into question.
