Along the way, Little Hawk is befriended by an injured wolf he names Lobo. Nearing the end of his journey, and within sight of his mother's homeland, Little Hawk is captured by Oglala Lakota braves and taken to their village in Sioux Territory north of the Platte River. There, he must become one of them and take up the ways of the Plains People or run the risk of being killed as an outsider.
