A young hunter draws his bow against a buffalo cow drinking from a
stream. Before he can loose his arrow, there is no buffalo--instead,
there stands a beautiful young woman, whom he knows he must marry.
The hunter's people shun the Buffalo Woman, and so she returns, with
their son, Calf Boy, to her people. The hunter's heart compels him to
follow. But he has been warned: The Buffalo Nation is angry at the
Straight-up-People. And if he cannot find his wife and son among he many
buffalo, they will be lost to him forever.
