Plot

The Chief of the tribe, Chetoga (played by Chauncey Yellow Robe) trusts his best hunter Baluk (played by Chief Buffalo Child Long Lance) to ensure the tribe does not suffer from starvation in the coming winter. They agree, and Baluk inquires about the Chief's daughter, who is trapping partridges; he insists her path is rocky and goes to make sure she is safe. The Chief obliges him to do so.
