An Englishman named John Morgan, has lived for 30 years as a Sioux as a Man Called Horse. In 1874, gold is discovered in the Black Hills, on tribal land guaranteed to the Sioux by the Laramie Treaty of 1868. Settlers pour in and White provocateurs try to prompt the Sioux to break the treaty (so that all-out war with the US forces will result in the land no longer being under Sioux control). They murder and make it look like Indians were responsible. Man Called Horse helps maintain calm among the tribe, but when tragedy befalls him, it's left to his son Koda and Koda's lover, a Crow named Red Wing, to devise a strategy to keep the miners at bay and the Black Hills sacred.
