When Buffalo Ran

This 1920 classic is the story of Wikis, a Plains Indian who grew up in the mid-1800s.

Wikis tells his own story, of how he grew from a child to a man, preserving the life and teachings of days that have long since passed away.

Take courage, therefore, for you shall be fortunate so long as these wars last.

You shall strike your enemies; your name shall be called through the camp and all your relations will be glad,'
