The first half discusses the threats to the future of the Hopi Nation (Arizona) from youth leaving the reservation, from intermarriage, and from outside influences. Members of the Nation show the importance of religious ceremonies in keeping the culture intact. The second half shows the mixture of tribal groups in Milwaukee, how they cooperate and sometimes intermarry, and the differences between Indian heritage and the urban and suburban culture of Wisconsin. "A matter of choice" is between the reservation and the outside culture, but many people live on and off the reservation at different times of their lives.
