Wanneer de jonge Crazy Horse, van wie grote dingen waren voorspeld, zijn bruid wint, gaat rivaal Little Big Man naar gemene handelaars met bewijs van goud in de heilige Lakota-begraafplaats. Natuurlijk begint er ondanks alle verdragen een nieuwe goudkoorts en wordt Crazy Horse de militaire leider van zijn volk. De eerste Indiase overwinningen leidden tot het onvermijdelijke resultaat. Uniek is dat alles vanuit Indiaas perspectief wordt verteld.
In 1866, a new gold discovery and an inconclusive conference force the U.S. Army to build a road and fort in territory ceded by previous treaty to the Sioux...to the disgust of frontier scout Jim Bridger, whose Cheyenne wife led him to see the conflict from both sides. The powder-keg situation needs only a spark to bring war, and violent bigots like Lieut. Rob Dancy are all too likely to provide this. Meanwhile, Bridger's chance of preventing catastrophe is dimmed by equally wrenching personal conflicts. Unusually accurate historically.
Comedy based on the plight of modern Native Americans living on reservations.
