Spoilers ahead

Black Feather, the great-grandson of Angry Wolf and the last of his tribe, opens the tale with the image of a group of Native riders crossing the plains. The narration sets a stark, timeless moral: the white man carries a disease the Indigenous people cannot catch, and there are values far more precious than money when those other things are stripped away.
