After a hunt that brought the tribe much needed supplies, Yakari is
visited in his dreams by the buffalo, killed the day of his birth, whose
pelt still serves as his blanket. Intrigued, the young Sioux and Little
Thunder go see the great herd. From encounter to encounter, and by
helping a young mother and her newborn calf against a particularly nasty
wolf, Yakari learns to know those majestic animals so important to his
own people's survival...
