The idea of Last Dance was about how love sometimes changes, and how those changes lead to drifting apart.…

The Native Americans that were indigenous to this land were thrust into a more modern world with technologically advanced Europeans, forcing them to either adapt and survive or wilt away. They were faced with difficult paths that would define not only their survival, but who they were as a people, and what their culture consisted of.
