Conquering horse

"Naked, without weapon, food, or water. No Name spent four days on the sun-scorched butte. Hawks whirled in the sky, snakes hissed on the hot rock beside him, and below, painted Pawnees stalked the enemy ground. The youth awaited the sacred vision that would give him a warrior's name-and a mission. When the voices came at last, their command was so terrible that only the greatest courage and the harshest cruelty could fulfill it."@en
"Initiation, vision, and mission of a young Sioux, who - in the days before the coming of the white man - must pass many tests to prove his manhood."@en

"High on a remote butte, a young Sioux waits. Though daring in battle, skillful, and strong, he cannot be a man until his spiritual vision comes. When it appears, he must interpret it correctly to know who he is, and he must deserve it or continue to be called No Name. No Name has his vision, a glowing white mare who walks among the stars. She tells No Name his destiny and how to achieve it. He must pass through hostile camps, storm, and fire, risking his life many times."@en
