Sounds sensible! I will say that this story has some relevance to myself. I am told that Aboriginal Americans typically give birth in a squatting position, letting gravity do much of the work. I noticed that the Cheyenne midwife had Becky sit up during her birth process, rather than lay down. The Pawnees, who showed up a time or two, were the other main adversaries. Clint Howard and Otto Neilson had the thankless job of portraying the villainous Bison hunters. Pato Hoffmann was good as Hawk, as was Dan Haggerty as Barkley. Kelly Preston was great and sexy, without trying to be. I invite you to see the film to find out what other challenges they face and how they grow together, after a traumatic beginning. I will end my partial summary here, well before the finale. It takes some days, but he eventually recovers. Now, she has 3 bodies to bury, and a badly injured Cheyenne on her hands to try to mend. She puts up a fierce resistance, and apparently knifes him dead. Now, Becky has to fend off the hunter by herself. But Barkley, when he returns, has something to say about that, and gets shot dead for his trouble. Meanwhile, the hunter had already gone back to the trading post to give Mathew's body for burial and to hopefully take over Becky as his woman. Luckily, Barkley came out to investigate, and found Hawk wounded, taking him back(somehow?) to his trading post. It's a wonder the hunter didn't finish him off, but he had what he wanted: the Henry rifle. One Cheyenne, a chief named Hawk, lay badly wounded. Two Cheyenne lay dead, as did one of the hunters: finished off by his partner. Soon, the Cheyenne showed up and there was an exchange of bullets and arrows. This he did, but it cost his life when one shot him for his Henry rifle. Mathew, who distrusted Aboriginal Americans, rode off hoping to find the hunters before the Cheyenne did. They were told which direction the hunters had gone in, so they resumed trailing them. After the hunters left, 3 Cheyenne who had been trailing them showed at the trading post. The hunters admired Mathew's Henry repeating rifle, but he wouldn't part with it. Unfortunately, no more wagon trains were scheduled for that year, so they set out alone, which made them much more vulnerable to attack from thieves and Aboriginal Americans. They started out late in the traveling season, as Mathew had to disappear, being a Confederate deserter. They are on their way to Oregon, and are looking for a replacement horse for their lame horse, helping to pull their small wagon. Powell as Mathew Carver)showed up at the trading post shortly before the hunters. A young married couple(Kelly Preston as Rebecca (Becky) and C.E. We meet the hunters at Barkley's trading post. They are very angry that whites continue to slaughter bison for limited use. Their hides are gone, but their meat was left to rot. The film begins with 3 Cheyenne looking over a scene of slaughtered bison. A beautiful story of the love that developed between and man and woman of vastly different cultures, who were not willing to extend their love to include living as an oddball in the other's culture.
