Synopsis

Set in the 1850's on the Great Plains of the United States, a flawed Cheyenne youth must overcome his own shortcomings while his small tribal band must overcome enemies, hunger and devastation. They must face up to immediate catastrophes as well as the gradual encroachment of advancing white civilisation. Traditions must be cast aside, unusual friendships formed and tribal assets, not the least of which is their strong womenfolk, must all be used to ensure that their way of life continues. It is a story of peace and war, friendship and enmity, life and death. It is the story of one small band of people but it is a spark in the forging of a continent.
