Stories from yesteryear pull me in and “Little House on the Prairie,” currently streaming on Netflix, is no exception.
The eight-episode series, released this year, follows the tight-knit Ingalls, who navigate the complexities of life.
Set in the late 19th century, Charles Ingalls, with his wife Caroline and daughters Mary and Laura, leave behind their life and loved ones in Wisconsin and walk into the unknown plains of Kansas in search of a brighter future.
They build a house on the prairie they have been told is “free” by the government, only to discover that it is still part of the Osage territory, home of the indigenous Osage people.
At the prairie, families like the Ingalls are trying to establish a new town from scratch, with some aware and others unaware of the government’s plans.
