Last stand

In the aftermath of the Battle of the Little Big Horn, a twelve year-old Lakota boy (Goes Alone) comes upon a wounded cavalry soldier (James) in the grass. When Goes Alone sees James about to take his own life rather than be captured, the boy takes pity on him and allows him to escape into a ravine. The next morning Goes Alone comes looking for James and finds him by a creeek, wounded and dying. Over the next two days Goes Alone and James form a bond that grows into friendship as Goes Alone tries to help the dying soldier. The price they pay for the friendship they share is high as their two cultures come into contact in a startling and emotional conclusion.
