In 1890, at the camps of the Teton Sioux, frenzied braves perform the Ghost Dance. The aged, venerated Sitting Bull is their leader in this, their last, most desperate attempt to oust the
white man from their land. Panic-stricken white ranchers and farmers call upon the Indian Agent to maintain the peace he has patiently established. Relations have improved between the two
races under his careful supervision — but will officials in the East let the trouble be settled peaceably? Or will their soldiers march in to enforce the power of the mighty against the
vanquished?
