Two Moons has just been inducted into the Cheyenne Dog Man society of the Kit Foxes. He is sad to leave Grandfather but he takes his place among the other young men of his tribe. When the soldiers murder Grandfather, Two Moons is left to bury him and strike out on the prairie to make his way alone. Who will the Great Spirit send to guide him through these times? We watch him take this journey with Young Man, Crazy Horse, and Man Afraid.
