The year is 1877. Against the backdrop of the challenging peace treaty negotiations between the Washington government and the proud Native-American tribes, the young civilian surveyor, Josh Tanner, arrives in the turbulent state of Wyoming. To pave the way for settlers to move in the territory, Colonel Lindsay is in charge of the peace mission; however, even though most tribes are receptive, Little Dog, the war-hungry son of the Cheyenne leader, Chief Broken Hand, threatens to put in jeopardy the delicate negotiations. And, as if that weren't enough, Tanner falls in love with Appearing Day, the beautiful sister of Little Dog, and fiancée of the battle-scarred tribesman, American Horse. Now, the two Cheyenne warriors prefer to die fighting. Is all hope lost? —Nick Riganas

This is a true Western
I am not that bothered by historical facts when all I need is a good Western to relax with. And this fits the bill perfectly. If I wanted historical accuracy I would go over to the History Channel and then I Would have to think and not be able to relax.
Perfect scenery, magnificently depicted Indian camp, great horse riding, good acting all round, even the self critical Mr Lund was perfect for his role.
Westerns of today just do not have the old magic.
Just as an incidental rider: when as a boy in the Saturday matinée Our gang would always cheer the Calvary, now I have grown up the Indians have my cheers and sympathy. What was done to them will forever be a massive blot on the history of the USA.
