The Black Dakotas Page #5

Does he have complete

control of his tribe?

Well, War Cloud's chief.

There's a younger leader called

Black Buffalo who wants his job.

He's about the worst hater of

whites in the entire Sioux Nation.

How do you stand with him?

No white man stands very

high with Black Buffalo.

He was educated

by white men, too.

Can read and write,

but he hates them all.

Well, I'm hardly

dressed for riding,

but this'll have to do.

Your horse will

never know the difference.

No. No, but I will.

Miles seem to be getting longer.

We're about halfway.

(SIOUX SHOUTING)

War Cloud's reception committee?

No, that's a war cry.

Ride and shoot.

That's Black Buffalo's

renegades!

(FIRES GUN)

(GUNFIRE CONTINUES)

(GUNFIRE)

(SPEAKING NATIVE AMERICAN

LANGUAGE)

I'm on my way to talk

peace with War Cloud.

Why do his braves

try to kill me?

Sioux want no peace

with white man.

(ALL AGREEING)

Those papers are from the

President of the United States.

They'll prove to War Cloud

that what I say is true.

We take you to Black

Buffalo in Dry Canyon.

He know what papers say.

(BOTH SPEAKING

NATIVE AMERICAN LANGUAGE)

You have killed

Black Buffalo's brother.

- You will die for this today.

- What?

- (COMMANDS IN NATIVE LANGUAGE)

- I had nothing to do with it.

(ALL EXCLAIMING)

The Sioux have got

Zachary Paige!

Eight of Black Buffalo's

renegades

ambushed us on the

way to meet War Cloud.

They kill Paige?

No. They're taking him to

Black Buffalo in Dry Canyon.

Paige is Lincoln's man.

We're getting him back.

If they kill Paige,

we'll all be massacred.

- Where's the Marshal?

- I don't know. We can't wait.

Well, am I going alone?

- MEN:
No.

- Come on.

These writings,

they make big promises.

We have had many big promises.

This time, they'll be kept.

As soon as your chief, War

Cloud, agrees to the treaty.

War Cloud is an old woman.

His blood is cold.

He'll let the white man

steal the Sioux hunting

grounds, kill our people.

(ALL AGREEING)

Today, this man has

killed my brother.

No, no, I didn't.

It is the same.

He is dead.

The white man talks of peace,

but they come here and kill.

We kill, too.

(COMMANDS IN

NATIVE AMERICAN LANGUAGE)

These lies on paper

will start the fire.

If you kill me, it'll

bring the soldiers back.

What can they find?

Only ashes.

The white man and the red man

can live in peace together.

You have never tried for peace.

Always you fight us.

War Cloud would believe me.

Yes, he would believe you.

That is why

he must not meet you.

He is not good for the Sioux.

Soon he will die.

I will be chief.

(SPEAKING NATIVE-AMERICAN

LANGUAGE)

Black Buffalo is

great Indian coward.

Black Buffalo is Chief Coward.
