I'm a surveyor.

I'll even call myself

a topographical engineer...

if it'll get me

any closer to your bathtub.

But, uh, since there's no room,

I'll run along.

And I apologize for breaking in on you like this.

There... is the storeroom.

That's where the tub is.

Bean sacks.

This is the best bunk in the world.

They shift when you turn over.

Say, this is a beauty.

Did my father say anything to you about me

when you talked to him?

No. No, he didn't.

Only that I was to ask you about the room.

Many days we have waited...

and Broken Hand and his Cheyennes

have not come to sit with us.

I ask now

that our friends, the Sioux...

the Arapahos and the Blackfeet

sign the treaty without him.

Indians!

Cheyennes!

Take cover!

Colonel! Colonel,

those Indians should be hanged!

Every last one of'em

should be hanged!

- What charges would you file?

- Charges?

Well, the- the brazenness of this whole-

the indignity of it!

Is your lost dignity worth a war?

No, I guess you're- I guess you're right.

We've lost so much face

around here now...

I guess this little

bit more won't kill us.

Arapaho.

Blackfeet.

And not a Cheyenne in sight.

Do you come here often?

Whenever I can.

- I feel sorry for them.

- Why? Because your father hates them?

It hasn't anything to do with him.

It's the way they're pushed around.

They haven't got a chance really,

and I think they know it.

It must be like being all alone.

I guess you'd know about that.

Please behave naturally, Ann.

And don't feel too sorry for this outfit.

They're Cheyennes.

Don't turn around, Ann.

It'll mean we're afraid.

That's what he wants.

It looks better on him.

How are you called?

Josh Tanner.

- How is she called?

- Her name is Ann.

I am Little Dog.

This one is my friend...

American Horse.

We are Cheyennes.

I know this.

You know then what this means?

It means you have killed enemies.

And I have killed white men too.

She is your squaw?

No. She is my friend.

We'll go back to the fort now.

It'll be all right.

A Cheyenne is a warrior.

He's too proud to attack us

with our backs turned.

Stay where you are.

Ah.

It makes the young chief s hair shine

like the wing of the raven.

He is welcome to it.

Two times I have held

your life here.

Two times you have won the game.

I will remember both days

with laughter.

I'm glad he thought it was funny.

- I didn't.

- I'm still scared.

You know something?

So am I.

You were a big hero this afternoon,

the daughter tells me.

Not at all.

I was scared to death.

- You followed her up there.

- Did she tell you that?

I'm telling you that.

You're the first one she's liked

since she was 13 years old.
