Step back in time to a world where the plains were vast and untamed, and the lives of the Indigenous people were deeply intertwined with nature. In this captivating tale, we follow the journey of a young boy named Wikis, who grows up surrounded by the beauty and challenges of his camp. With only a handful of families and the wildlife around him as company, Wikis learns invaluable life lessons from both the land and its creatures. The true events recounted in this story paint a vivid picture of a rich cultural heritage and a way of life that thrived in harmony with the natural world.

George Bird Grinnell charts the development of the Cheyenne people through the course of the 19th century and how they were forced to become increasingly militaristic, both with other tribes and the ever-encroaching United States government, in order to protect themselves and their culture. Although Grinnell states that "this book deals with the wars of the Cheyennes", he spends a great deal of time explaining their culture more deeply to provide a more complete picture of this fascinating tribe.
