Recounts the 1911 World Series, in which two Native American baseball players, Charles Bender, an Ojibwe member from the White Earth Reservation, and John Meyers, a Cahuilla member raised on a California reservation, faced off against each other for the first time.

Both Bender and Meyers persevered through the challenges they faced to become successful athletes and advocates for Native American rights.
