Second half of the last century: There are only few tribes of indigenous people of the northern USA left who live in freedom. Most of the tribes have given up the fight against the white men’s superiority and live in reservations. But a small tribe desperately tries to defend its freedom. However, when Chief Tokai-ihto is taken captive after he had been betrayed, it seems inevitable for the tribe to be defeated by the white men. Tokai-ihto is sent from captivity to the reservation since the white men think he would cause no harm. But they underestimate the tribe′s desire for freedom and its undaunted courage. On their way to Canada to start a new life in freedom, the Indians encounter several dangers: An enemy tribe tries to block their way at a river. Thus their last fight that decides about freedom and captivity, and about life and death begins.
