Junior is a fourteen year old boy living on the Spokane Indian Reservation in Washington. He was born with hydrocephalus which means he has water in his brain, which has led to a number of health problems. In addition, his large skull, awkward lisp, and thick glasses have made him the victim of bullying from his tribe members teenagers and adults alike. Junior's family is poor, Junior explains, and the worst thing about poverty is that he cannot do anything about it. He is devastated when his pet dog, Oscar, becomes ill from heat stroke and his family does not have enough money for a veterinary visit. The only way to put Oscar out of his misery, then, is for Junior's father to shoot the poor creature. Junior runs to his friend Rowdy, who attempts to cheer him up by suggesting they visit a local powwow. There, a group of drunk men beat Junior up. To retaliate, Rowdy cuts the eyebrows and ponytails off Junior's attackers after they pass out.
